right, how do I put a delay in my function, i want it to attach the ball, then wait 10 milliseconds, then attach another, how would i go about doing this, thanks
heres my code:
function attach() {
for (i=0; i\<40; i++) {
repeat = attachMovie(“ball”, “ball”+i, i);
repeat.\_x = ((i_3)+30);
repeat.\_y = ((i_3)+30);
repeat.\_rotation = (20\*(i\*2));
}
}
attach();

[AS]
i = 0;
function attach() {
//for (i=0; i\<40; i++) {
if(i \>= 40) {
clearInterval(interval);
return;
}
repeat = attachMovie(“ball”, “ball”+i, i);
repeat.\_x = ((i_3)+30);
repeat.\_y = ((i_3)+30);
repeat.\_rotation = (20\*(i\*2));
i++;
//}
}
interval = setInterval(attach,10);
