Pausing a timeout is not straightforward. But here's a quick solution:
var intervalID:Number;
var startTime:Number;
var timeLapsed:Number;
var func:Function;
var ms:Number;
function startTimer(func:Function, ms:Number):Void {
this.func = func;
this.ms = ms;
startTime = new Date().valueOf();
intervalID = setInterval(this, "checkTime", 1);
}
function checkTime():Void {
timeLapsed = new Date().valueOf()-startTime;
if (timeLapsed>=ms) {
clearInterval(intervalID);
func();
}
}
buttonInstance.onRollOver = function():Void {
clearInterval(intervalID);
};
buttonInstance.onRollOut = function():Void {
startTimer(func, ms-timeLapsed);
};
//
startTimer(autoPilot, 5000);
function autoPilot():Void {
trace("autoPilot");
}

I have got a setInterval like this:
-------------
var autoID = setInterval(autoPilot,5000);
function autoPilot():Void {
nextScene();
};
-------------
If a rollover occurs, I'd like to pause the setInterval until the
rollout occurs. Is there a way to suspend the setInterval during a
rollover and then restart it onRollOut?
