you'll want to use the setInterval command for pauseing at each frame. You could just set it to tell the playhead to nextFrame when the interval is met. For the button you could put both an on and an off button inside a movie clip on frames one and two. Then just make part of your onRelease code change the currentFrame of that movie.

Make a new movie clip with two frames. On the first frame put your autoplay graphic and on the second put your stop graphic. Then put a stop command on each of those frames. Now you can either put an invisible button over that entire movie clip or make each of those graphics buttons themselves. Either way, on the button you have "autoplaying" put:

code:

---

on (release) {

	buttonsMC.play(); 

}

---

And as for the time inbetween pictures if you don't want to mess with setInterval, just add like 20 frames inbetween each picture.
