I am new to flex and this forum. So can anyone tell me how to produce a delay in my program. I just need 3 second delay in my program.

I just need to write a delay function. The function look like..

private function delay():void

{

     // 3 second delay code

}

Thank you,

    Correct answer

    This is helpful but problem is how do i know when that 3 second will finish.

    private var myTimer1:Timer;

    [Bindable] private var num1:uint = 0;

          private function init():void{

            myTimer1 = new Timer(3000, 1);

            myTimer1.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerHandler1);

            myTimer1.start();

          }

          public function timerHandler1(event:TimerEvent):void {

            num1++;

          }

    I want to insert a function when that 3 second finish. The function name is check(). Where should i put this check function.

    My aim is when that 3 second finish i want to call check() function.

    I tryed this stuff before but i am not able to get that delay. I think i am doing some thing wrong. It will not take more than 3 line of code to create delay.

    Can you please code for me. thank you.
