Time Delayed Button Actions?

Can anyone help me out here… Im only a moderate flash expert, and Im always looking to learn some more… so anything anyone can recomend here would be appreciated…

Im looking for a script that puts a delay between actions

eg:
(ACTION 1)
b4.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != “http://www.url.com/photos.swf”) {
_root.section = “http://www.url.com/photos.swf”;
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“closing”);

(ACTION 2)
**this action controls the size of a container box
** wmodifier=300;
hmodifier=325;

What Im looking to do, is play the transition movie, and THEN re size the box… any thoughts?
