This frame script keeps the playhead looping in the current frame so long as less than 60 percent
of a Flash movie called Splash Screen has streamed into memory:
-- Lingo syntax
on exitFrame
if member("Splash Screen").percentStreamed < 60 then
_movie.go(_movie.frame)
end if
end
// JavaScript syntax
function exitFrame() {
var ssStrm = member("Splash Screen").percentStreamed;
if (ssStrm < 60) {
_movie.go(_movie.frame);
}
}

minimum period of 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds) is reached:
on handleTimeout timeoutObject
if timeoutObject.period > 2000 then
timeoutObject.period = timeoutObject.period - 1000
end if
end handleTimeout
