Is there anyway to pause?

1

^ flash during an action –
i tried to do a while lloop but it loops to many times (ie for using a getTimer() function)
is there any way to pause any thing for x seconds except then playing a specific number of frames ??? Thanks !

I think using setInterval for creating timed pauses in a movie is much easier than anything using getTimer but that’s just me. You might want to look up the setInterval function and see if that helps you.
