Timer Event

Question

i have a timeline with a transition of images fading together and have the following code to make the timeline stop for 4 secs on the first image.
this.stop();
var timelinePause:Timer = new Timer(4000,1);
timelinePause.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timelinePause.start();
function timerHandler(evnt:Object):void {
    this.play();
can i reuse this code on the other images, if so how do i reference the variable and function on the next images in the timeline so i can get it to stop and play after 4 secs?
Cheers

Answer 1

you don't need to (and shouldn't) redefine that function.  after the first frame that contains all the code you posted, just use the following on subsequent frames you want to pause:
this.stop();
timelinePause.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timelinePause.start();
