Hello,

I have a movie made from DIRECTOR and I am converting them into a FLASH MOVIE, (including the score)

The problem is, I reach a point in my animation that uses a timer, which pauses for 5secs then moves to the next frame. I can achieve that easily with DIRECTOR since it has a DIALOGUE BOX that says how many seconds you wanted to pause in a frame.

I don’t see that in FLASH MX 2004, can someone help me creat an actionscript that does this action?

DIRECTOR LINGO (in director, you only have to click and click and it does the STOPPING & PAUSING for you) the idea is like this below:

on enterFrame  
Pause = 5secs  
then  
go Frame = “begin” //begin is the LABEL OF FRAME  
end

THANKS
