Restarting after a few seconds

[Diplomat]

Can someone please give me some code I can add after at stop(); function to restart the movie (or play from frame1 on scene1) after 3 seconds? Thank you.

[GreenLantern]

is your stop() function on a movie clip?

[kode]

Use the setInterval() function; look it up in the ActionScript Dictionary, and run a search in the forum. ;)

[GreenLantern]

Nobody uses the old getTimer() anymore. It's starting to get lonely.

[Diplomat]

It is not on a movie clip.

Actions in frame 1


time = 3000


Actions in frame X


function playBegin() {
clearInterval(hold);
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
}
hold = setInterval(playBegin, time);
stop();

I knew it was something with setInterval and a function, forgot about clearInterval though :).
