Hello,
I would like to start off saying I am new to Actionscript and know very
little. I need some help with some code. I have a button the on release
goes to a url. The button also play a sound when pushed. But because on
release of the button the page changes to another url page which is cutting
out the sound effect I have for the button. I would like the button to
delay for a second or two before it does the command getURL. Please
remember I have little knowledge of actionscript so please include ever
step. Thanks in advance.

Name the button instance on the stage "theButton" and then place the following
code on the first frame of the timeline NOT on the button. This will give a 2
second delay (2000 milliseconds) before calling the function that gets the new
page:

theButton.onRelease = function () {
    setTimer ();
};
function setTimer () {
    intervalID = setInterval (getPage, 2000);
    function getPage () {
        getURL ("http://www.google.com", _blank);
    }
}

Thanks for the post. I will try it. Also is there a way to open the new
url maximized?
