Does anybody have an idea how I can write this statement to have it do the ’ \_parent.vocab.play();’ wait a second or two and then finish the statement?

reflective.onPress = function() {  
\_parent.vocab.play();  
\_parent.vocab.vocab1.vocab\_nav.gotoAndStop(“reflective”);  
\_parent.vocab.vocab1.vocab2.gotoAndStop(‘reflective’);  
};

Thanks!  
Mike
