I have set this button up but right now I have too many things happening at the one time when it is clicked so what I wanted to do was give tem all say 4 seconds between when each one should happen. Now I know a few ways like set Interval or get Timer but I’m sure how to implement in to my situation or if I can

```auto

clips[0].onRelease = function() {
	lightsOn();
	_root.chair.gotoAndPlay("out");
	_root.plant.gotoAndPlay("grow");
	controlPanel.gotoAndPlay("down");
	window.gotoAndPlay("up");
	directors.gotoAndStop(1);
	homeBoy.gotoAndStop(2);
	unloadMovie("video");
	poleUp(-190);
	frameUp();
};

```

see what I mean I would love to have a few seconds between each of them because its slowing the movie down when all are called together.  
Can this be done and any help on how. Thanks guys.:sigh:
