For Loop with delay

programming flash
1

I have been looking through this forum as well as all others I know of and cannot find a simple example to help me get through this. Everything I find is more complicated than what I need and since I don’t know many of the basics of AS I have trouble breaking it down to what I need.

I am trying to use a for loop with maybe a one or two second delay.

The for loop is set up to run the attachMovie command 7 times.

for (var i = 0; i<8; i++) {
clip= _root.attachMovie("square", "square"+i, (1+i));
clip._x = i+100;
clip._y = 50;
