I am using VB6 and I want a flash movie to play while showing a message while my database looks up the userid and password codes. Problem is... the database is too small and my flash doesn't get shown. I want to know how I can delay (like 2 seconds ) so I can show that flash doc before it begins looking up in the database. I need some sort of timer control that is triggered by the clicking of the submit button so the user knows that the information is being verified. Thanks on avance!
