I would like to delay the button click event to trigger for 10 seconds after I press the button. The following is the Actionscript3 code I am using now. I want to delay the GLButton mouse click event.

stop();

import com.greensock._;  
import com.greensock.easing._;  
import com.greensock.plugins.\*;  
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

import com.greensock.loading.ImageLoader;  
import com.greensock.loading.LoaderMax;  
import com.greensock.loading.SWFLoader;  
import com.greensock.loading.VideoLoader;  
import com.greensock.loading.display.ContentDisplay;  
import flash.display.MovieClip;

import fl.transitions.Tween;  
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;  
import fl.transitions.easing.\*;

Messages.GLButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);

function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {  
var X1pos:Number = 0;  
var Y1pos:Number = 0;  
var SWF1:MovieClip;  
var loader1:Loader = new Loader();  
var currentSWF:String = “FireWorks.swf”;

```
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(currentSWF);
    loader1.load(newSWFRequest);
    loader1.x = X1pos;
    loader1.y = Y1pos;
    SWFContainer.addChild(loader1);
	
	loader1.mask = SWFContainer.MaskArea
    }
```

You should be able to put the contents of the btnClick function in a setTimeout call which will let you delay it by whatever you want (in ms, so 10000 for 10 seconds).
