sounded facetious. It wasn't meant to as there are several ways to accomplish

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=096581515-13082007>My first thought is to
use an event response on an interaction that is triggered either by a native
flash event, or a event you broadcast yourself using
iconID.broadcast('myCustomEventName');</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=096581515-13082007>Interesting, because I've
built dozens of learning objects using xerte now, and have not needed the
equivalent of a a wait. I do broadcast custom events sometimes though, when I
need to move on when something has happened / loaded / finished. It's much more
accurate to respond to the event you are interested in, rather than just wait,
say, 5 seconds.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=096581515-13082007>There is the timer
interaction response as well, which will function as a wait if you really need
to move on after a time period..</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=096581515-13082007>Imported swf files should
fire an 'onMovieComplete' event you can listen for to stop the movie, or you can
add 'stop()' to the last frame yourself. If you set the controls
property to '1' on the graphic icon, I think it is handled for
you.</SPAN><BR></DIV>

<DIV>Can anyone recommend the best way to accomplish the functions of the
"Wait" icon in authorware?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, I'm encountering an issue with imported SWF movies looping.
Is there a best way to suppress this?</DIV>
