flash (macromedia): Wanted to build a slideshow where the slides rotate automatically without
interference from user. It will just move from slide 1 to 2, then 3,... , and
the end, it will move back to slide 1 and repeat itself.

However, I have no idea how to make the slideshow to pause for a few second
before going to the next slide.

For example, I wanted something like this:

Start Slide 1:
FadeIn (1 seconds)
Pause (3 seconds)
FadeOut (1 seconds)
Goto Slide2
FadeIn (1 seconds)
Pause (3 seconds)
FadeOut (1 seconds)
Goto Slide3
FadeIn (1 seconds)
Pause (3 seconds)
FadeOut (1 seconds)
REPEAT

I can get the Slide to do simple transition such as FadeIn/Out via Behaviour.
However, how do I make the slide to pause for 3 seconds before FadeOut and goto
next slide???

How are you deploying your slides? Are they individual images one per
keyframe or are they images in movieclips all on the timeline at the same
time but only one visible at a time? Or are you loading them dynamically?
There's so many ways to do this that you really need to provide more
information about how you have things structured.

fncRestart = function(){
clearInterval (itvPause);
play();
}
fncPause = function(nbrDelaySec){
var nbrDelayMS = nbrDelaySec * 1000;
itvPause = setInterval(fncRestart, nbrDelayMS);
}

If the above looks like gibberish, then let's discuss some other method. :)

I just use the "Slide Presentation" option when I start a new project. SO I can
insert the Screen Transition via Behavior - but there is no such a transition
call "wait" or "pause"...

I am doing it without using any actionScript at all :)
