[color=red] **On the one timeline I am multiple animations to be run, Ecah animations has to stop for 5-10 sec & then move to the another animation.** [/color]

For stoping 5-10 min, I hv written below code,

Here “timestart” is a Var, define by me.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (currentTime+1\<=int(getTimer()/1000)) {  
timestart++;  
// new timer  
currentTime = int(getTimer()/1000);  
}  
if (timestart \>= “8”) {  
//trace(“I am timestart”)  
\_root.animation.Play();  
}  
}

you have to write :  
onClipEvent (load) {  
timestart = 0  
}  
then everything works correctly 🙂  
because FLASH MX 2004 does not count with 0 when you update your variable with timestart++;  
it counts with undefined if its not initialized; a drawback of mx2004

should be: if (timestart \>= 8), because “8” means this is a string, not a number …  
i think you can solve it better with [COLOR=Navy]setInterval[/COLOR] …

i would also say setInterval is the better solution if you have multiple animations  
but :

i tried it with “8” and it worked correctly. now i wonder why :), but i think it is because Flash converts it automatically into an int value if it is compared with an int
