Controlling time intervals

1

Sup peeps. Would be much appreciated if yous could help me with this code. It isn’t mine, sorry dont know who the author is.

Basically I need an the images to play automatically after 9 seconds. I was messing around with the setTimeout() function but this code structure didnt like it.

spacing = 4;
containerMC._alpha = 0;
pArray = new Array();
pictArray = new Array();

MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic)
{
this._alpha = 0;
this.loadMovie(pArray[pic]);
this._parent.onEnterFrame = function()
{
picloadtxt._visible = 1;
var amount:Number = containerMC.getBytesLoaded() / containerMC.getBytesTotal() * 100;
this.loadingtxt = Math.round(amount)+“%”;

    var t = containerMC.getBytesTotal(), l = containerMC.getBytesLoaded();
    bar._visible = 1;
    per = Math.round((l/t)*100);
    
    if (t != 0 && Math.round(l/t) == 1 && containerMC._width != 0) 
     {
        var w = containerMC._width+spacing, h = containerMC._height+spacing;
        border.resizeMe(w, h);
        bar._visible = 0;
        picloadtxt._visible = 0;
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
      } 
     else { bar._width = per; }
};

};

MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h, pic)
{
var speed = 6;
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
this._width += (w-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h-this._height)/speed;
if (Math.abs(this._width-w)<1 && Math.abs(this._height-h)<1)
{
this._width = w;
this._height = h;
containerMC._x = this._x-this._width/2+spacing/2;
containerMC._y = this._y-this._height/2+spacing/2;
containerMC._alpha = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};

my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xml.onLoad = function(success)
{
if (success)
{
for (var i = 0; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
pictArray.push(this.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.thumb);
pArray.push(this.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.image);
}
}
delay = setInterval(makeMenu, 100);
};

my_xml.load(“gallery_bridal.xml”);
var menu = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“menu_tot”, 99);
menu.setMask(mask);
var sub_menu = menu.createEmptyMovieClip(“menu”, 100);
var p = 0;
var q = 0;
var loadper = 0;
var picID = 1;

function makeMenu()
{
menu._x=520;
menu._y=-420;
clearInterval(delay);
var item = sub_menu.createEmptyMovieClip(“pic”+q, q);
item.loadMovie(pictArray[p]);
var temp = _parent.createEmptyMovieClip(“tmp”, 9999+q);
temp.onEnterFrame = function()
{
var tot = item.getBytesTotal();
var loa = item.getBytesLoaded();
var per = Math.round(((loa/tot)100)/(pictArray.length2));
loadBar._yscale = loadper+per;
if (tot == loa && tot>4)
{
item.id = p;
loadper += per;
if (q>0) { item._y = sub_menu[“pic”+(q-1)]._y+sub_menu[“pic”+(q-1)]._width; }
else { item._y = 0;}

        containerMC.loadPic(0);
        
        item.onRelease = function() 
         {
            containerMC.loadPic(this.id);
            var picID = this.id;
            setTimeout(5000);
         };
        nextItem();
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
    }
};

}

var amount = pictArray.length-1;
function nextItem() {
if (q<((pictArray.length)-1)) {
q++;
if (p<(pictArray.length-1)) {
p++;
makeMenu();
} else {
p = 0;
makeMenu();
}
activateMenu();
}
}
