Is there any way to make action script wait for a number of milliseconds or seconds before moving onto another command, for example in this code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

 this._x += 10;
 this._y += 10;
}

Would it be possible to add in a function like this:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

 this._x += 10;
 this._y += 10;
[i]wait(number of milliseconds);[/i]
}

Thanks for any help.

not really like that but similar, first you create a function that does what you are achieving:

myFunctionsName = function(){
  myCode
}

Then you create an Interval like this:

myIntervalID = setInterval(myFunctionsName,200);

If you just need the function call up once, then put this line at the end of the function but still inbetween the brackets

clearInterval(myIntervalID)

fyi.. time is being measured in miliseconds

Thanks, that worked fine.
