A Possible SetInterval Disaster

Question

Hi All,
I have recently used the SetInterval class in flash 8 to
help me create a delay before initiating an action However I was
told that it is the issue behind several inconsistency or error
that I was facing.
And after removing it, some of the problems were solved.
Could someone provide me with an answer oh whether how I did
it was correct at all? I only want it to provide a delay once
whenever its played. Attached below is the code I had used
throughout the site previously.
Many Thanks In Advance....

Hi my apologies for the not too clear explanation.
The problems I was facing was the delay(by SetInterval) was
occasionally not initiated thus I have switch to a manual delay o
the timeline and now a major issue after I removed all the
SetInterval due to these mishaps is a disability to simply stop at
a frame at _parent which is very troubling.
I have actually done a exit animation that eventually stop();
at a frame then a gotoAndStop. at parent. The weird thing is I did
a trace on that same frame and i got no result so I am thinking
whether its still SetInterval script that causing this problem
although I have already blocked them all out.
