Hi all,

I am new to AS3 and Flash. I had created a TextField o stage. When a button is clicked, I need to display this textfield **for a limited time period(say, 3 to 5 seconds)** and then after 5 seconds, I want it to be invisible.

```
    How can I achieve it?

```

It’s very urgent…  
Thanks in advance…
