Greetings all - Iam having a REAL problem with actionscript timing and hope that someone can help me? … please … 🙂

I have just finished writing my own Texas Hold em poker client and need help with slowing it all down. basically the AI players make their call/raise/fold decisions at the speed of light and I want to slow them down for a custom length of time before they act. Ideally what I would like is a prototype that I could call with a custom time length and it would count that long before executing their actions e.g.

if(plyr1\_condition1 && plyr1\_condition2){  
wait(5);  
execute actions  
}  
else {  
wait(10);  
execute actions;  
}  
}  
…etc … as move onto next player

Any help greatly appreciated - setInterval is just one of those actionscript things I’ve never been able to get my head around. lol:esmirk:
