no, not really a cutscene, but a camera movement...
after it goes "It is kyle!" the camera moves in too slow. i just adjusted the tuorial's cog really, but whatever:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code:

symbols
message		activated
thing		cam
thing		console	
thing 		player				local
flex		speed=2.0
flex		speed2=14.0
sound       	goalsnd=kk60058.wav         local
int		done=0				local
sound           SoundToPlay=forceblind01.wav		local
int		Player				local
int		check				local

end

code
activated:

if (done ==0)
	{
	check = GetSenderRef();
	if (check == console)
		{
		Player = GetLocalPlayerThing();

		// freeze Kyle
		SetActorFlags(Player, 0xa00000);
		StopThing(Player);
		
		SetCameraFocus(0, cam);
		SetCurrentCamera(0);

		Sleep(2.0);
		Print("who is it?");

		MoveToFrame(cam, 1, speed);
	       MoveToFrame(cam, 2, speed);
	       MoveToFrame(cam, 3, speed);
	       MoveToFrame(cam, 4, speed);
	       MoveToFrame(cam, 5, speed);
	       MoveToFrame(cam, 6, speed);
	       MoveToFrame(cam, 7, speed);
	       MoveToFrame(cam, 8, speed);
	       MoveToFrame(cam, 9, speed);
		
		Sleep(24.5);
		PlaySoundLocal(SoundToPlay, 1, 0, 132);
		Print("IT IS KYLE!");

	       MoveToFrame(cam, 10, speed2);	

		Sleep(22.0);
		SetCameraFocus(0, jkGetLocalPlayer());

		if (jkGetSaberCam() == 1)
		CycleCamera();
		DestroyThing(cam);
		
		// unfreeze's Kyle
		ClearActorFlags(Player, 0xa00000);

	   	PlaySoundLocal(goalsnd, 1, 0, 0);
		Print("The End of your first Cutscene");
		SetGoalFlags(Player, 1, 2);
	   	SetGoalFlags(Player, 2, 1);

		}
	}

	return;

end

My guess why the cog doesn't work is that the third IF statement near the bottom doesn't have a beginning bracket { or end bracket }
You also need to balance out the start and end brackets to determine how the if statements are nested within each other. Hope that helps.
----------------------
I think to have a cutscene start when a level does you call the cutscene cog from the startup cog.

Change "activated" to "startup" both in the symbols and the code.

And also put

Sleep(1);

just below

"startup:" (after you replace)

You missed a semi-colon. I marked it in bold.

Ok, bold doesn't work so well with code brackets, I put a comment next to it instead.

	return;

end

It works up until it gets to cam 3 then it skips everything else in the cog.

also, after this goes, my internal veiw IS cam3 and it sees Mara's ship from its first position whick it shouldn't

help
