Hello

I have an ad banner which calls up a external .flv.

I have placed it on the stage, but I want it to pause about 3 seconds, then loop automatically.

When I select the flv on stage, I got the loop to work by adding actionscript below, but I want it wait 3 seconds before playing again. Right now it just plays again, giving it a feeling of replaying “too soon”. I’m not great with AS, so if there is some actionscript I can incorporate here it would be great, but if it require setting up a function or something first, let me know where I should put that code in the timeline…Any suggestions? Thank you!

```
on (complete) {
    this.autoRewind = true;
    this.play();

```

}
