Pause main timeline with AS3?

programming flash

Hey guys,

I was wondering how I might pause my main time line with AS3, currently I’m using the following code for AS2 and it does exactly what I need it to do.

function wait() {
stop();
var myInterval = setInterval(function () {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
}, 5*1000); // stop for in seconds
}

wait(); // This goes on the fame I want to pause

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
SG
