Hi,  
I have a button when mouse over loads and image into a movie clip, however i want it to have a few second delay before it calls the function. Here is the code i have at the moment.

```auto
b1.onRollOut = function(){
 
 setInterval(loadImage("p.jpg"),2000);
 
}

```

Even if i change the interval number there isnt any change in delay, it pretty much happens [COLOR=black][FONT=Arial][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]instantaneously. [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR]
