Hi all, I have a one frame fla that controls the movie clips on stage through actionscript. When the swf starts to play all the movie clips move to their desired positions. I would like to know how to delay one of these movie clips for 2 seconds. The actionscript that control mc movement is located in the mc. Here is the code.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
xPullOutNavArea = getProperty(\_root.PullOutNavArea, \_x);  
movePullOutNavArea = \_root.xTargetPullOutNavArea - xPullOutNavArea;  
setProperty(\_root.PullOutNavArea, \_x, xPullOutNavArea + (movePullOutNavArea/15));  
}

Can I add a delay in here?
