On the stage, I have a movie which runs for 100 frames at the end of the movie i have a keyframe with stop(); on it. This makes the movie play once and stop it. Now i need to play the same movie after 3 minutes from the begining - how do i do this using action script or tweenlite?

Movie should play, wait for 3 mins, then play, wait for 3 mins, so on…

Please help.
