well I've actually created a class called SetTimer.as that executes a
function after a given time in seconds and can loop the function many times
u want..
see just put the class in the same directory of the fla and use:
import SetTimer;
var myTimer:SetTimer = new SetTimer(2, function () {myFunction();}, 5);
where "2" is the time to wait in seconds, the second attribute is the
function to be executed and finally "5" are "how many times the function
will be repeated". if u don't set this last parameter the function will be
repeated only once...
hope this will help...
here is the class http://www.proeye.net/omarfouad/myClasses/SetTimer.as
Good luck!

Omar Fouad - Digital Emotions...
Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never
boastful nor conceited It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense
and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins...but
delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope...
and to endure... whatever comes.
