Menu Timeout Problem

Question

Hi,
I have just created a menu that has a little animation created in motion, it is about 35 seconds long, at the moment this animation just loops to the loop point about 4 seconds in.
I have been asked by my client to make the menu automaticaly move onto the sub menu after the animation has played once. I tried using the timeout function set to 1 sec, but when the animation came to an end it just froze for about 1 min before jumping onto the sub menu.
I have searched both the manual and this forum but have draw a blank, any ideas?
Cheers for your help

Setting Timeout = 0 and your submenu in the Action list must jump "almost" inmediatly.
Are you using the Motion project as background asset in your menus and testing your project in Simulator? DVDSP must render on the fly the background movies from the Motion project and that causes delays in simulations. If that's the case, try building your project to your hard drive.
