HELP FOR WAITING FOR FLASH!!!

The easiest is to put a stop action on a keyframe and design a continue button (that can appear only on this stopped frame and dissapear as soon as it is hit), that the user can hit to continue at his own pace. Otherwise, guess you'll have to use a getTimer script to only pause for a pre-determined time!

Create a new movie clip and call it timer.
Only 4 keyframes with only actions on them.
1-> stop ();
2-> start = getTimer();
3-> run = getTimer();
if (Number((run-start))>Number(value)) {
gotoAndStop(1);
tellTarget ("../"
{
play();
}
}
4-> gotoAndPlay(3);
Now back in your main movie, from the library - CTRL L -, drag the timer clip on stage, doesn't matter where, it's invisible.
Add a keyframe in your action layer if you have one, where you want the movie to pause.
Set the following actions on this new keyframe:
stop ();
tellTarget ("/timer" {
value = "5000";
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
This should pause your main movie for 5 seconds. Change the value of value to make a longer or shorter pause.
10,000 would make it a 10 seconds pause!
If you want more pauses, just set up new keyframes in your main movie and call up the timer in the same way as above.

Hi Sam!
Nice touch! Coudn't of done it myself!
Guess your jpg trick signature ain't workin'!
Try converting it to a gif, it can even be an animated gif and using
no line breaks, no spaces execpt for the one between img and the url in your signature!
