Make a function repeat every interval:

function wait() { // a function called 'wait'
trace("The time is now !!"); // the action you want, in this case a trace.
}
myTimer = setInterval(wait, 1000); // calls the function after 1 second

This will make the function wait one second and then repeat ever second after that.

Make a function wait and then execute once:

function wait() { // a function called 'wait'
trace("The time is now !!"); // the action you want, in this case a trace.
clearInterval(myTimer); //stops the function being called again.
}
myTimer = setInterval(wait, 2000); // calls the function wait after 2 seconds

This will make the function wait 2 seconds and only repeat once.

use setTimeout instead.


make the function as usual but instead of usinger setInterval use setTimeout


setTimeout(function name , delay in milliseconds);

ie:

function hello(){
trace("hello world");
}

setTimeout(hello, 2000);


would trace "hello world" in 2 seconds.

nice a bit easier
