delay at frame

Hi,

Is it possible to make the movieclip delay (lets say stop for 1 second..) in one frame using actionscript instead of including more equal frames?

Thanks

This link, has a function written:

http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=825

All you have to do is:

PHP Code:


		
			
 movieClipInstance.pauseMovie(1000);

and you'll get a 1000 mill sec pause

Thanks to sxdesign for that one !

Hi Snapple

Thanks for your help, but as i am a begginer, i couldn´t make it work...

I went to the link you mentioned and copied the code into my movie, but what do i have to change? just the instance name of my movieclip when calling the function? or something inside the function?

Do you have anything that would work for the main timeline?

Thanks again

Paulo

I found there's an easy way here:

or an even easier way

PHP Code:


		
			
 stop();

//set a value for the delay

time = 200;

//need to give the delay an ID so we can clear it later

delay = setInterval(proceed, time);

function proceed() {

    //clear the interval

    clearInterval(delay);

    //go next frame - or whatever you want to happen here

    nextFrame();



}

although ive just looked at the first code and i cant see what problem you could be having
cest la vie
