check your email. i sent you an example.
as far as the '../' do you mean a file that is being loaded in? if it is a file being loaded in then you actually want to put the pause clip in that movie (that is being loaded) and you put it in the actual timeline that you want to pause. all '../' means is that it is checking right outside of the pause clip, which is the actual timeline you put the clip into. sorry if this sounds hella confusing.
2. the getTimer is the conversion to seconds. so basically it is taking the time in seconds times 1000. by dividing the time by 1000 you are getting actual whole interger seconds like 1, 2, 3, etc. not 1000, 2000, 3000
2-2. it actually pauses for 2 sseconds because the clip is set to a default of 5. so it is (5)-3=2
the default can be changed in the components panel, but i usually just change it in the movie clip.
does any of this make sense? i am really bad at explaining things.
