Put a stop in a keyframe where you want it to pause.

Put a movie clip there with as many frames in the movie clip as you want

the pause to last. In the last frame of the movie clip put the action:


TellTarget (target: /)

	Play

End TellTarget


"/" targets the main timeline, so the movie will resume playing. Note: you

don't have to make a huge movie clip, you could make it smaller and put

several of them one after another in stopped frames on the main timeline.
