Hello,

On my timeline, I would like to pause (a frame) on my movie for 10sec and then continue to play.

I dont want to use a button…

Can someone help?

paste the script in the frame you want the pause…

```auto
this.stop();
pause = function () {
	play();
	clearInterval(pausei);
}
pausei = setInterval(pause, 10000);

```
