setInterval - I'm confused!

[mickbrit55]

Hiya ....

FLASH MX - Player 7.0

I must be in "dumb-mode" today

All I am trying to do is add a 5 second delay to the start of a movie using setInterval(). I have read Sen's article and read the reference, but I still can't get it to work. The movie starts on Frame 2 ... and my actionScript is on frame 1 :


stop();
function go() {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
var intervalID = setInterval(go, 5000,};
clearInterval(intervalID);


The error in the output window reads :


Scene=Scene 1, Layer=action, Frame=1: Line 5: ')' or ',' expected
var intervalID = setInterval(go, 5000, "0" };

Probably something REAL simple

Thanks

you could simply use

code:

---

custard = setInterval(function (){clearInterval(this);gotoAndPlay(2);},5000)

---

and remove the need for an external function call
