Pausing a movie with getTimer?

[AngelGuy7]

Hey. I need to pause a movie for like 40 seconds at certain frames... then I need it to play. How can I do this. I can use getTimer right? If so, how? Thanks!

hmm..

onClipEvent(load){
   _parent.stop();
   var timet=Math.round((getTimer()/1000)+40);
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
   if(timet==Math.round(getTimer()/1000)){
		_parent.play();
   }
}

paste this on a movie clip.

or put this function in the _root,

_root.doPause = function(movie, gap) {
    movie.stop();
    var startTime = Math.round(getTimer()/1000);
    this.checkTime = function() {
        var time = Math.round(getTimer()/1000);
        if (time >= startTime + gap) {
            clearInterval(this.doCheckTime);
            movie.play();
        }
    }
    this.doCheckTime = setInterval(this, "checkTime", 1);
}

and call it from your movie frame with:

// 40 for 40 second pause
_root.doPause(this, 40);
