Hi there!

I’m completely new to AS3. After having surfed forums and tutorials for a couple of hours I’m now resorting to posting my problem on a forum.

Being completely new to actionscripting I found a tutorial on how to create a typewriter effect, which I have successfully made into a movie clip.

My problem is that I want to stop the movie for the typewritten text to appear and make the movie pause for a pre-defined number of seconds and hereafter continue to the next scene or frame or whatever is the most easy.

The link for the file text.flv: [http://www.nordsesil.net/Resources](http://www.nordsesil.net/Resources)

I’m hoping somebody can write the code directly into the file and re-attach it as I’m sure the procedure is quite simple.

Thanks in advance - it would be really appreciated!

Cheers,  
Andreas
