heres the scoop i want to delay a function 1 sec after the last function has completed its animations whats the simplest way to code this. Im sort of leaning to set interval but i could be wrong could someone please help thanks

heres the code i have:

* * *

tweenBall();  
function tweenBall() {  
easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut;  
var begin = 99;  
var end = 0;  
var time = 1;  
var mc = ball\_mc;  
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, “\_xscale”, easeType, begin, end, time, true);  
tweenBall1();  
}  
function tweenBall1() {  
easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut;  
var begin = 0;  
var end = 99;  
var time = 1;  
var mc = xmotion\_mc;  
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, “\_xscale”, easeType, begin, end, time, true);  
tweenBall2();  
}  
stop();  
function tweenBall2() {  
easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut;  
var begin = 0;  
var end = 99;  
var time = 1;  
var mc = \_xinteractive\_mc;  
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, “\_xscale”, easeType, begin, end, time, true);  
}  
stop();
