[CS3] Pausing a looping movie clip at a specified moment

programming flash

I am building a non-interactive animation based on slot machine reels which will be exported as a quicktime movie and burned to a DVD for playback.

To create the looping of the three reels, I’ve used the following script:


onClipEvent (load) {
     looping.duplicateMovieClip("slots");
     slots._y=looping._y+looping._height;
     loopStarty=this._y
     loopSpeed=30;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     if(_root.bg.loopStart) {
          this._y-=loopSpeed;
          if(this._y<=(loopStarty-looping._height)) {
               this._y=loopStartx-loopSpeed;
          }
     }
}

However, I want to pause the looping at specified moments in order to match up the images (like winning on a slot machine). I’m assuming that there is a function in which I can say “Pause ‘slots’ after looping 1.3 times for 30 seconds” or “Pause ‘slots’ for 30 seconds after looping for 3 seconds”.

Again, there is no interactivity - this is just a looping animation that will run on a screen.

Thanks!
