AS3 Loop with Timer

Hi -

I’m having some trouble figuring out how to add a timer to delay the adding of each thumbnail to the list. I want them to stagger loading in, so they don’t all show up at once. I figure I need to use a timer somehow…

Here’s the loop code that is loading in the thumbs and displaying them in a list:

 
for(var a:int=0; a<thumbArray.length; a++){
   var nextThumb:Thumbnail = new Thumbnail();
   nextThumb.displayImage = thumbArray[a];
   nextThumb.displayTxt = txtArray[a];
   nextThumb.x = 0;
   nextThumb.y = (a*nextThumb.height)+a*10;
   thumbs.addChild(nextThumb);
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
