In the lingo help file, look up "_system.time()". This is a
way to track time on the local computer. You can use that to set
your time delay.
global gTheExpireTime
on StartMovie
the itemdelimiter = ":" ----Using the ":" as an item
delimiter; to differenciate between the hours and minutes places
-----Your 2 hour delay added to the hours place in the time
gTheExpireTime =string(value(_system.time().item[1]) + 2)
& ":" & _system.time().item[2]
end
on YourTrackingHandler --exitframe, enterframe,
prepareframe,...
if gTheExpireTime = _system.time() then Expired() --Using the
"Expired" Hnadler as the trigger for what you want to happen in 2
hours
end
This script ought to work but I dont know the details of your
project. Let me know if you are still having problems.
