I made a self-destruct screen, and i wanna make it so someone can type there own numbers/seconds for how long until it self-destructs. Also I wanna make it for someone to be able to type an abort code that will make the numbers stop moving. How would I go about doing those things? Thanks. Greg

I am sorry, it is difficult to understand for me, what do you need. Tell more specific, please... or go to my site and decide, can I make it.
Thanks

I believe Greg's talking about using a Dynamic text box skaa. One that the user can enter variables into to control the current movie, and/or its behavior.

Barring whether skaa has an immediate solution for you... check this site Greg, it has a lot of tutorials. And i think you'll be able to find something there on this. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/index.htm

Greg.
You need to place an input text box on screen which will hold the vairable named 'countdown' or something similar. Then have a button to start the countdown.

Then place a second input text box for the abort code. Then set up a if-else loop to test for the abort code equality, such that:

if (abortCode=="fx32da") {
stop();
} else {
countdown = countdown - 1;
play();
}

where fx32da is your abort code.
