Re: [flasher] javascript actionscript ?

[Gregg Caines]

This method will allow you to pause a movieclip for 30 seconds,

if that's what you're trying to do:


Frame 1: get the current time in the first frame and

put that time in a variable called old_time.  


Frame 2: get the current time again and put it in

a variable called new_time.


Frame 3: check if new_time is greater than old_time + 30 seconds;

If so, then I let the movieclip play on, and do its thing.  If not I

make it loop back to Frame 2, to check again.


I usually use this method because putting 30 seconds worth of

blank frames (360 frames, at 12fps) into a movie clip can really 

increase the file size.


I hope I didn't completely misunderstand the question...
