I have a question…I have an animation tweening in via MC then tweening out thats seperated with a frame level in the same MC.

my script is

on(release) {

\_root.Content.gotoAndPlay(“ContentOut”);  
\_root.AboutUs.gotoAndPlay(2);

}

Okay that works fine but is there anyone to type some script in to have it “stall” for say maybe 3 seconds before going to frame 2 of the AboutUS MC? I’m sure it’s simple, thanks in advance.

Thanks but…

on(release) {  
MovieClip.prototype.pause = function(seconds) {  
this.stop();  
this.$resume = function() {  
\_root.Content.gotoAndPlay(“ContentOut”);  
clearInterval(interval);  
delete this.$resume;  
};  
var interval = setInterval(this, “$resume”, seconds\*1000);  
};  
// usage  
AboutUs.pause(140);

\_root.Content.gotoAndPlay(“ContentOut”);  
\_root.AboutUs.gotoAndPlay(2);

}

Doesn’t seem to be working am I applying it in the wrong way? Sorry for my newbieness.

or try…

[AS]  
function doneDelay(){  
play();  
clearInterval(delay);  
}  
delay = setInterval(doneDelay, 500);  
stop();  
[/AS]

That will work but here’s another meathod just incase you wanted 2 :-p

[AS]  
stop();  
tellTarget ("/timer") {  
delay = “3000”;  
}  
[/AS]
