Flash question

[lost-and-found]

How do I make it so the flash animation stays at one frame for a given number of seconds before moving on to the next frame. I'm making a flash animation where I have pictures being masked an unmasked, and I want the flash to stay on each picture for a few seconds before displaying the next picture.

Hit F5 and it will drag the frame out for multipul frame segments.

that's the easy way! the other way would be action script but i'm too tired to search my actionscript book and try to find one out sry

yeah, i'd prefer action script rather than making 30 frames for each image. So far I've found a script that loops on 2 frames for a given amount of time before moving on, and that's how I make the iamge "pause" for now, but I imagine that takes up more CPU time than regular pausing.

I think it would be the same with the 30 frames too (going back to your CPU statement).

Hi L-a-F

Maybe help? Read through..

Are you using MX?

If so you could use setInterval.

Define the following pause function, on the first frame of your movie:

function pause(){
play();
clearInterval(timer);
}

Whenever you want to pause your movie, just add a stop(); action on a frame followed by this:

stop();
timer = setInterval(pause, 1000);
//where 1000 is 1 second or 60000, 1 minute.
