I think I am running into a few issues. One of the largest is interpreting my timeing, as relates to action queues and when I need to start counting; from the beginning of the cutscene, or from the previous action.
The other is getting my creature (spawned in during the cutscene) to perform her movement and actions I wish her to do. Also, I need to destroy her at the end, but she is being sutubborn.

I thought, after reading, that I may need to use the GestaltTagActionMove function (and the related GestaltTag* functions), but it had no effect on my creature.
Needless to say, this script is only partly functioning. Can anyone give me some pointers? It would be much appreciated.

/*
The following script is the first cutscene taking place in the "Ruins of Shadhet - Catacombs"
dungeon run. This is in the Weaving Room, and shows the ghost Leila. On the loom, the PC
will see a battle scene, depicting Jassad warring against a desert rival.
Leila appears, sitting at the loom, and the PC sees her weaving the half-finished tapestry.
She does not see/react to the PC’s. She stops in her weaving, and lays a hand on the
cheek of Jassad…then does the same for the rival. A single tear tracks down her cheek,
then she fades.
