Why is this not working? It just passes through the function instead of pausing. Source is attached:

Inside the MC's specified in the _root timeline. Look at the layers, then find that MC in the library. You'll see the functions there.

I appreciate the help.

Sorry....

Main Scene >> 02-Intros Folder >> 01-introGettingStarted

It's in the first layer of the Main Scene.

pause = function () {
thisClip.play();
thisClip.clearInterval(thisClip.stall);
}

thisClip.stall = setInterval(pause(), 3000);


your code wasnt calling the function at all. This calls it. I'm not sure if its what you need though.

Sorry.... but it's not working. I've adjusted the code to your recommendations and it's still not picking up the function.

it picks up the function but the function probably doesnt do what you want. stick a trace("function called here"); in the function to see that it works.

Yes... I did get the trace to come up, which is proof that the function works, but it looks like the "setInterval" isn't working since it's not pausing.

Hmmmm....
