panel_mc.inv_btn.onRelease = runScript;

var my_timedProcess:Number = setTimeout(closePanel, 4500, “Image3”);

function runScript():Void
{
animateDefaultImage();
this.enabled = false;
clearTimeout(my_timedProcess);
};

function closePanel(imageSelected:String):Void
{
if (imageSelected == String(“Image3”))
{
TweenMax.to(panel_mc,duration2,{_y:387.9, ease:Strong.easeInOut, delay:duration});
TweenMax.to(left_plane_mc,duration2,{_alpha:0.0, ease:Strong.easeInOut, delay:2.45});

are you sure this will work : setTimeout(closePanel, 4500, “Image3”); ?

3

setTimeout(this, “closePanel”, 4500, Image3);

4

setTimeout : is this function documented in flash ? because i cant find it… and never used it either ?

5

It’s not documented but it’s there.

Also, it’s not as if it is some feature that we weren’t supposed to know about:

I like making up my own commands :look:
