pause and resume

[izzrael]

Hello I'm a new member at actionscript.org.

I was wondering if anyone has any input on my question.

I've been trying to figure out for a few hours now how to make words or sentences animate in and "pause" for a few seconds (for the user to read) and then continue to play. I know I can tween it, but I wanted to do it via actionscript. I got it to animate in and come out but i couldn't figure out how to have it hold for a few sec. I will have more than one sentence animate in and out.


I've attached the .fla to see if anyone can help

Thanks in advance

you can try using the setInterval() function.

Read up on MX Transitions and __PROTO__ for movie clips and onEnterFrame..

Experiments are the key to success..

also getTimer() handling is useful....
