Hello all,

I have a simple question about timing:

```auto
function anExample(){
movieOne_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
/*here I would like to enter code which tells the function to wait 10 seconds and then continue*/
movieTwo_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

```

Is it possible to do this? In other words, to pause a function or section of actionscript before continuing to the next line?

Thanks as always for any help,

David
