I use the letsMove function to move movieclips

```php
MovieClip.prototype.letsMove = function(time, step, limit) {
	countHundred = function (clip) {
		clip._x += step;
		updateAfterEvent();
		if (distance>=limit) {
			clearInterval(move);
		}
		distance += step;
	};
	var move = setInterval(countHundred, time, this);
};
mc1.letsMove(1, .05, 100); 

```

How can I use another setInterval function so, when the movieclip reaches the limit (in this case 100 pixels), it stops, waits for 1 second and starts the letsMove function again?

Thanks
