Help! How to make time delay?

[garychui]

Do anyone know how to use ActionScript (not using frame)
to make time delay????? (MX 2004)

e.g.

do {
this.mc._alpha += 1;
(I want some delay here)
} while (this.mc._alpha<100);



Thanks!

function Alpha() {
if(_root.mc._alpha<100){
_root.mc._alpha++
}
}

setInterval(Alpha, INTERVAL_HERE)
updateAfterEvent()

Thanks!
I can do that individually...

but...
I cannot use it in this situation...

on (rollOver) {
function Alpha() {
if (mc._alpha<100) {
mc._alpha++;
}
}
setInterval(Alpha, 1);
updateAfterEvent();

}
on (rollOut) {
function Alpha() {
if (mc._alpha>0) {
mc._alpha--;
}
}
setInterval(Alpha, 1);
updateAfterEvent();
}

These scripts are in an btn (not the MC)
It can work when I roll over the btn (The MC fade in)
but when I tried to roll over and out it several times,
the script didn't work!

Please help!
Thanks!

frame action:

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if(something==1 && mc._alpha<100) {
mc._alpha++
}
if(something==0 && mc._alpha>0) {
mc._alpha--
}
}



button action:

on (rollOver) {
something = 1
}
on (rollOut) {
something = 0
}

But I want to put all the scripts into the button...
Is it possible!?
