The Pause effect is useful when sequencing effects. It does nothing for a specified period of time or until a specified event is dispatched by the target. If you add a Pause effect as a child of a Sequence effect, you can create a pause between the two other effects.

The <mx:Pause> tag inherits all the tag attributes of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:

  <mx:Pause 
    id="ID" 
    eventName="null"

Property Detail
durationproperty
duration:Number[override]

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The duration property controls the amount of time that this effect will pause. The duration also serves as a timeout on waiting for the event to be fired, if eventName was set on this effect. If duration is less than 0, the effect will wait indefinitely for the event to fire. If it is set to any other time, including 0, the effect will end either when that duration has elapsed or when the named event fires, whichever comes first.

The default value is 500.


Implementation
    public function get duration():Number
    public function set duration(value:Number):void

See also

mx.effects.IEffect.duration
eventNameproperty 
public var eventName:String

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Name of event that Pause is waiting on before ending. This parameter must be used in conjunction with the target property, which must be of type IEventDispatcher; all events must originate from some dispatcher.

Listening for eventName is also related to the duration property, which acts as a timeout for the event. If the event is not received in the time period specified by duration, the effect will end, regardless.

This property is optional; the default action is to play without waiting for any event.

Constructor Detail
Pause()Constructor
public function Pause(target:Object = null)

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor.

Parameters
target:Object (default = null) — This argument is ignored by the Pause effect if there is no eventName attribute assigned. If there is an eventName, then the target must be an object of type IEventDispatcher, because it is expected to dispatch that named event. A null target is allowed for this effect since a Pause effect with simply a duration property is not acting on any specific target and therefore does not need one.
