Pause for x seconds

Here´s an easy one for all you coders out there. I need to be able to pause my movie for a few seconds (variable) and then have it play again.

I tried doing it using the for buckle but that is straining on the player and has no style whtsoever.

So, what i´m lookin for is a funcion i can call that will stop(); wait a few seconds and then play(); That´s it.

Thanks in advance.
