Looking for a simple Actionscript 2.0 Pause 1

[ColonelBlue]

I have used the code below to pause some timelines ( "paragraphs of text to read" advancing every 15 seconds ), however it has wreaked havoc on all my scenes. After a while scenes will play in succession DESPITE a stop(); at each end. I have used clearInterval(interval) at stragetic places hoping to quell the unwanted scene advance, but to no avail.

A simple pause for "x" seconds Actionscript2.0 which I can call a few times on one timeline and that which would not interfere with any other code as aforementioned would be so appreciated. I have been going absolutely nuts over this for over a day now.

Thanks in advance.

stop();
var interval:Number = setInterval(
  function():Void {
    play();
    clearInterval(interval);
  },
  15000
);

I would specify the scope:

var interval:Number = setInterval(this, "proceed", 15*1000);
function proceed():Void {
	clearInterval(interval);
	play();
}

Since you don't want to repeat the interval, the other option is:

setTimeout(this,"proceed",15*1000);
