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();
