stalling AS

[Brian]

I would like to halt the execution of some actionscript I have.
Basically, I have a funtion that does a bunch of stuff and I would like
to stall the excecution at certain points. Is there code that stops the
reading of the code for a certain amount of time?

Below is the code and I indicated where I want to stall the whole thing:

function homeSet01(){
// set the postion of the navigation for the home page...
navigation.endX = 40;
navigation.endY = 36;

//stall here for about 1 sec...???

mask_01.endX = 278;
mask_01.endY = 36;
mask_01.endWidth = 105;
mask_01.endHeight = 0;
mask_01.endAlpha = 100;

//stall here for about 1 sec...???

mask_02.endX = 387;
mask_02.endY = 36;
mask_02.endWidth = 105;
mask_02.endHeight = 0;
mask_02.endAlpha = 100;

//stall here for about 1 sec...???

mask_03.endX = 496;
mask_03.endY = 36;
mask_03.endWidth = 105;
mask_03.endHeight = 0;
mask_03.endAlpha = 100;

//stall here for about 1 sec...???

mask_04.endX = 605;
mask_04.endY = 36;
mask_04.endWidth = 105;
mask_04.endHeight = 0;
mask_04.endAlpha = 100;
};

Thanks so much for the help!!!

you need to break it up into seperate functions, and use setInterval().
Something like:

function homeSet01(){
// set the postion of the navigation for the home page...
navigation.endX = 40;
navigation.endY = 36;
rCurrentInt = setInterval (homeSet02, 1000)
};

function homeSet02(){
clearInterval (rCurrentInt)
mask_01.endX = 278;
mask_01.endY = 36;
mask_01.endWidth = 105;
mask_01.endHeight = 0;
mask_01.endAlpha = 100;
rCurrentInt = setInterval (homeSet03, 1000)
};

function homeSet03(){
clearInterval (rCurrentInt)
mask_02.endX = 387;
mask_02.endY = 36;
mask_02.endWidth = 105;
mask_02.endHeight = 0;
mask_02.endAlpha = 100;
rCurrentInt = setInterval (homeSet04, 1000)
};


etc...
