in the old version of flash, there was an option in the property inspector where one could have assigned ie. 8 seconds to a keyframe (esp. text) so one could read the let's say 3 sentences before the next set of sentences came on the stage. i swear there was an option for this in flash 8. can anyone tell me how to control the timing in flashcs4 in between frames? i know how to make the very last frame stop( ); in actionscript 3. ... thanks

You may be thinking of the Tempo channel in Director. In any case, you can use the Timer class to create a timer that will wait any length of time then tell the playback head to move on.

The frame rate is fixed by what you set it for... and it is a frames per second basis. If there was a lengthy delay, it was most likely a set as part of the code within the frame, using setTimeout or something.

I am not familiar with CS4, but in AS3 you can use a Timer to set up a delay time before an action is taken.
