I have the following code at a certain frame in a move clip. I want the action to pause for 1 minute before move to "Ob2" frame. What am I doing wrong?
this.stop();
setTimeout(myFunction,60000);
function myFunction() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Obj2");
}

I am not building a Flash movie. I am converting a Flsh movie into and htlm5 canvas doeument. Here is the code that works perfectly:

this.stop();
setTimeout(this.play.bind(this), 3000);

It pauses the action at the frame the code is placed and continues to the next this.stop(); Yes it is Java. But as far as I know as3 will not work for html5 canvas documents The code above works great.I have hundreds of places in my project.that I need to do this and it works every time. The code above does the following:

It stops the movie at the frame where it is placed.
Pauses for 3 seconds.

Then continues to the next stop.
Thanks for your help.

It's JavaScript, not Java. Completely different languages.

Please excuse me for saying Java instead of Javescript. I noticed it right after posting the pervious post. I just see noway to edit after posting. But correcting a typo does nothing to fix my problem. But thank you for correcting me.:)

I know actionscript is history. I am working with html5 canvas. Flash is gone in December.

correct, flash is history. but it's incorrect to say or even imply as3 is history: mobile and desktop apps using as3 are still supported and working though i have my own doubts about the longevity of as3 mobile apps.

for others, that's javascript, not actionscript which the op failed to indicate. (and the confusion between Ob2 and Obj2 is unresolved, though maybe one is a forum typo.)
