Re: How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene?

thank you for your code.

I have everything in one scene now and the below code works great with for a loop with the code in Frame 55 to repeat. My problem now is that once I click on any of the buttons the reset of the frames not in the first 55 is still using the timer and advancing to the next frame. I can click through buttons before the timer advances but I need to know how to stop the time so it will not work past frame 55. Any Ideas?

Code in Frame 55:

stop();

{

    if (currentFrame == 55) {

        gotoAndPlay(1);

    }

}

Code in first Frame:

import flash.display.Scene;

import flash.events.TimerEvent;

stop();

var called:Boolean;

if (!called) {

var timer:Timer = new Timer(500,0);

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);

timer.start();

called = true;

}

function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {

if (this.currentFrame != 55) {

this.nextFrame();

} else {

this.stop();

}

}
