//******************* BEHAVIOR FUNCTION **********************

//Starts a timeline playing from the current frame.
//Accepts the following arguments:
//  tmLnName - the name of the timeline to play (ex: Timeline1)
//
//Designed to work in conjunction with Dreamweaver's Timeline Inspector.
//The Timeline Inspector creates a JS function called MM_initTimelines(),
//which puts all the timeline settings in a multidimensional array, saved
//into a document property called document.MM_Time.
//
//My function initializes the timeline by calling MM_initTimelines.
//Next it starts a timer using setTimeout(), which recursively calls this
//again after the elapsed time. I use myID to identify recursive calls.
//Then it checks the data arrays and sets all sprites to their new positions
//and sets other properties. For behavior sprites it evals the behavior call.
