I have a Flash animation that is entirely created with AS 2.0. It creates a line graph based on some data. It works perfectly as is, but I’d like to add a little flair. As it plots the points and connects the lines, I’d like to have a tiny pause between each. I’d like the user to see the line being drawn across the screen rather than it all appearing instantaneously. Is there any code that can make a script “pause” for a set amount of time?
