Hi,

I’m new to actionscript and am trying to have a simple three pictures coming in one at a time then some text rotation around them.

I have the following code for the pictures coming in from the left but I need to somehow pause between each one as at the moment they all come in together:

[COLOR=royalblue]import mx.transitions.Tween;  
import mx.transitions.easing.\*;[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=royalblue]var xPosT:Tween = new Tween(runner, “\_x”, Bounce.easeOut, -700,-175, 2, true);  
var xPosT:Tween = new Tween(connect, “\_x”, Bounce.easeOut, -700,0, 2, true);  
var xPosT:Tween = new Tween(people, “\_x”, Bounce.easeOut, -700,175, 2, true);[/COLOR]

Additionally once they are on the stage I want to then tell the rotating text to fade up and play…at the moment it’s a simple tween object also on the first frame of the timeline.

I’m sure this is a simple thing to do but I’m a novice to this scripting stuff so any help would be really apprectiated 😃
