wait on frame, then go to another specific frame

[michaelbuddy]

I got some code that works in a flash movie of mine.

loadMovie("banking.swf", banking_mc);
this.stop();
pause = function () {
        play();
        clearInterval(pausei);
}
pausei = setInterval(pause, 50000);

I'm running the contents of during this pause. I have multiples of these. This way, I can simplify my timeline. But I tried to add a line after the pause time taht says goto frame 30, it just stops. Can somebody suggest the right syntax to go to a specific frame, or label after the pause interval?

thanks for any help.

Well the way I solved this problem wasn't what I expected but oh well.

I added a new frame after that, and in a new layer created a new frame script that was basically a gotoAndPlay(frame#);

Pretty seamless. There simply isn't an Exit Frame script. Which to me seems really strange.

Glad you managed to solve it Michael as I'd no idea at all.

Heres another way to do the same by executing a callback function, got it from the help files in flash,I just added the gotoAndStop(2) in the function, have a play with the maxCount numbers and Duration number to get the timings you want (duration is in milliseconds)

stop();
var intervalId:number;
var count:Number = 0;
var maxCount:number = 5;
var duration:number = 500;

function executeCallback():Void{
trace("executeCallback intervalId: " +intervalId+"count:"+count);
if(count>=maxCount){
gotoAndStop(2);
clearInterval (intervalId);
}
count++;
}
intervalId = setInterval (this, "executeCallback",duration);
