  okay this is what i use:

  make a movie clip with 8 frames

  frame one:
  play();
  tellTarget ("../") {
  stop();
  }

  frame two:
  start = Number(getTimer()/1000);
  end = start+pause-3;
  //you can change -3 to anything you want to reflect your total time you want it to pause

  frame three (with a frame label "checktime"):
  current = Number(getTimer()/1000);
  if (current >= end) {
  tellTarget ("../") {
  play();
  }
  } else {
  play();
  }

  frame 4-7: leave blank

  frame eight:
  gotoAndPlay("checktime");

  then right click or control click on the movieclip you just created in the library window.

  go to 'component definition...' in menu.

  press the '+' and change 'varName' to 'pause' and 'defaultValue' to '5'

  now place this compontent anywhere on your movie.

  this is a long way to do it, and there is probably a easier way, but this works everytime for me and once it is created once, you can just always copy and paste it and change the value to whatever you want.
