2 questions

How do I reset a flash movie using actionscript ( it doesn't reset itself properly so I want to do it manually), also how do I delay for a few secs half way through my code?

Not sure exactly what you're asking on the first question, but you can always send the playback head to frame 1:




On the second question, there are a couple different ways to make a time delay. You could loop through some frames and not break out of the loop until a var is incrementally increased to a certain point. You could check out using the setInterval() function.

You might want to elaborate a little more with your questions.


btw: These two questions should really be in their own posts. Please separate them into 2 threads. Thanks.

For #2, are you looking to pause your code? Or pause your movie? If you are looking to pause your code, we are going to need a little more explanation on what exactly your code is doing, because that will effect how you can "pause" it.

i'd make it _root.gotoAndPlay(1);

That resets your movie from everywhere
