AW: newbie video player questions

[eddie d]

hello tiemo
thanks for the quick reply.
the script is in the card of each player. there is no button on the 
card. just the onmouse command.
but somehow I just seem to have solved this problem by using a 
specific card number with' go card' and not 'next'.
now it goes to the specified card after playing. (I'll try to find 
how to use random numbers in the manual).
so now I need to figure out how to let it go to a certain substack on 
a specific time.
I thought I make a subtack for 'morning' one for 'afternoon' and one 
for 'evening' and in each stack are a number of cards with a 
videoplayer
any idea on how to do this?
