Hi
I was wondering if anyone has any input on my question.
I’ve been trying to figure out for a few hours now how to make words or sentences animate in and “pause” for a few seconds (for the user to read) and then continue to play. I know I can tween it, but I wanted to do it via actionscript. I got it to animate in and come out but i couldn’t figure out how to have it hold for a few sec. I will have more than one sentence animate in and out.
I’ve attached the .fla to see if anyone can help
Thanks in advance
no fla? 
you could probably create a pause button that has a stop action on it and a play button that has a play action on it.
sorry, i thought the .fla it was up.
Yeah, the thing is that I want it to be continous.
Does it make sense:)?
Well, what you have looks really good! If you want it to pause longer I’d say look into setInterval() - you can set how long it pauses before resuming.
:hr:
you know what, i was looking into that, but i didn’t really get it, and i couldn’t find any examples. Do you know of any or where i can see one.
thanks
Well, I’d start with the help that comes with Flash 
You can also search the forums here as it gets asked about a lot.
Third option is to check out Senocular’s in depth tutorial on the home page:
