Movie delay/pause question?

[PippinTook]

Hello and thanx for taking the time to read my thread.
I need to be able to pause/delay my movie at the last frame or frame before last, for a short period before it goes back to play the first frame.
Any help is good help....

Cheers
Pippin

You can use a movie clip as a timer

make a movie clip

in the first frame of your movie clip have a stop action

in the second frame

x = getTimer();
play ();

3rd frame

play();

4th frame

if ((getTimer())>(x)+5000) {
_root.gotoAndplay(1)
} else {
prevFrame ();
}

this timer is for 5 seconds
1sec = 100 milliseconds

target this movie clip in the main timelinewhenever you want the timer to start

tellTarget ("timermovie") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}

Hope I am clear

Regards...

Thanx so much for the help, is there a way I can do this without creating another movie clip? or is this the only way around this?
