actionscript pause action problem.

• Bullitt

  Got a problem with a pause action Im using throughout a timeline.

  on the 1st frame I have this:
  function pause(){
  play();
  clearInterval(timer);
  };

  then on keyframes throughout were I want it to pause for a set time I have:
  stop();
  timer = setInterval(pause, 5000);

  I have a button which throughout I have play next frame and play.
  Problem I got is when I click on this button throughout, it now shortens the time it plays each pause script, Im guessing because its still playing the previous one????

  anyone know a way of fixing this??
  cheers!

  setInterval will fire the pause function every 5 seconds until you clearInterval. if you want it to just fire once, use setTimeout instead.
