i have only been using flash for a few months and have not yet utilized setInterval

i have a loop that i want to run through once and then pause and then continue etc  
so i can have each little test.swf pop up one by one rather than all at once

```auto
 
createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 10);
function createMenus() {
 aMenu = new Array();
	aMenu = ["test.swf", "test2.swf", "test.swf", "test2.swf"];
  for (i=0; i<aMenu.length; i++) {
   menu.createEmptyMovieClip("menu"+i, 100+i);
   menu["menu"+i]._x = i*100;
   menu["menu"+i]._y = 100;
   menu["menu"+i].loadMovie(aMenu*);
  }
}

```
