Sure. If you're using D8, use a timeout object. Something like this (untested)
-- in a movie script
global gPause
on prepareMovie
gPause = FALSE
end prepareMovie
--in a frame script
global gPause
on exitFrame
if gPause = FALSE then go the frame
end exitFrame
-- in a handler attached to a button or something
global gPause
on mouseUp me
gPause = TRUE
timeout("bideaWee").new(5000, #goAhead, me)
end mouseUp
on goAhead
gPause = FALSE
end goAhead
Check out the New() function in the D8 help. If you're using D7, you can
use the timer.
