I’m creating a flash presentation, and I’m a bit confused on how to pause the animation. I think I need to use the ‘setInterval’ command, but I’m not sure.

This animation is going to run by itself, so I dont want to create any buttons, I just want it to pause at a certain point. Any help at all would be great
