Pause a movie clip for ## seconds

[ToshTrent]

Hi,

Is there a way to pause a movie clip for say 20 seconds? I'm currently making a large section in the time line with blank keyframes. If I could make an action at the end of the movie to pause for 20 seconds then play again that would be awesome. Does anyone know how?

Thank you in advance!

try this code:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	var delay = 2;//seconds

	//use the getTimer() to get the number of milliseconds
	var gts = getTimer();

	//convert to seconds
	var theSeconds = Math.round(gts/1000);
	_root.secs.text = theSeconds; //debug to see seconds

	//if the seconds equals the delay, then go to a frame
	if (theSeconds == delay) {
		gts = 0;
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
		gotoAndPlay(1);
	}
};
stop();

The only problem i have come across is how to reset the timer. This is just a basic example of how to do it, i'm sure there are better ways of doing this.

stop();
intervalTime = setInterval(afterInterval, 20000)

function afterInterval() {
clearInterval(intervalTime)
_root.play()
}
