I am making a movie that has a frame, than it needs to pause for a few seconds, than another frame appears, than it needs to pause for a few seconds, and so on. Right now, I am just using the timeline and keyframes, but I am using 2000+ frames on the timeline and it takes forever for it to load. Is there a way I can use actionscript to tell the frame to stay for a few seconds before proceding on so the movie is more efficient?

Thanks for the help.
