Hi there. I’m fairly inexperienced with Flash. I’m doing looping presentation for a kiosk, and there are 3 or 4 times when I want the presentation to pause for 5 seconds or so each time. I’m using this fairly simple function for a pause:
function wait() {
stop();
var myInterval = setInterval(function () {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
}, 3*1000);
}
I put this in it’s own layer. When I at first called it from a keyframe in another layer by doing
wait()
on it, it seemed to work fine. Then, I needed another pause so I did the same thing a bit later on in another keyframe (in the same layer).
But the second instance of the function call seems to have no effect. Why is this? Am I placing the scripts in the wrong place, or is there a better way to add pauses to a movie?
Note this has to export as QuickTime so it has to be compatible with F5.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Tom
