Hey guys,

I’m looking for a way to pause my flash movie, for like 5 seconds and replay it from the beginning. I tried the set interval, but it keeps looping :s

What am i doing wrong ?

Thnx !

```auto

stop();
setInterval(afspelen(),500000);

function afspelen(){
	trace('test');
//play function here
	
	}

```
