hi,

Something like this:
PHP Code:
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

function 
waitAS3(mc:MovieClips:Number 10):void
{
    
mc.stop();
   
    var 
timer:Timer = new Timer(s*10001);
   
    
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, function()
    {
        
mc.play();
    }
    );

    
timer.start();
}

// example:
waitAS3(this5); // stop this timeline, 5 seconds
