    I want to put a time delay into my animation. so when the playhead gets to say frame 10, it waits 5 second and carries out a another instruction or loops the animation again or whatever. I'm just interested in adding the delay in seconds to my scripts. How?

    (I find this a bit confusing, if anyone has a easier solution, please post it)

    var countAmount = 5;
    var elapsed = 0;
    last frame of animation timeline>>
    Code:
    elapsed = getTimer() -starTime;
    if (elapsed > countAmount *1000) {
    gotoAndPlay(1);
    } else {
    stop();
    }
    It's not working though. What am I missing?

    Someone please help. If the aniimation is 30 frames, I have the top script in frame 1 and the second script in frame 30 in seperate scripts layer. What am I missing with regard to it holding for 30 seconds and then proceeding to loop again?

    your 'if' statement only checks once
    so if elapsed is not > 5000 on the first check
    then it just stops
