[FMX] Delay Load Movie

[Digitalosophy]

How can I tell Flash to wait 5 seconds before loading my movie without using frames in timeline?

mybutton.onRelease = function(){
//wait 5 seconds then
loadMovie("blah","placeholder");
}

Thanks

ok well i found some stuff on the boards that helped but now i have anotehr problem. i used this code to set my timer

function doneDelay(){
		loadMovie("contact.swf","placeholder");
        clearInterval(delay);
}
delay = setInterval(doneDelay, 1000);

I know nothing about intervals

code works but now the text

"function doneDelay(){
loadMovie("contact.swf","placeholder");
clearInterval(delay);
}
delay = setInterval(doneDelay, 1000);"

shows up in my movie

anyone know why

Haha - That's funny.

May I take a look at your FLA?

Lol, that happens to me a lot too When copying and pasting some code I saved in a textfile or from another FLA, the as window wasn't focused so it copied on stage.
