canvas js have a delay or wait() before running the following code

[richiebeno]

I have been trying to find a way of delaying the running for the js code in a html canvas document.

I know how it is done with tweenjs e.g

createjs.Tween.get(this.movieClip).wait(200).to({scaleX:1.10,scaleY:1.10}, 100, createjs.Ease.quadOut);

But I want to delay or wait in running the following code instead of waiting on a tween:

this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay("frameName");

Hi.

Use the setTimeout method.

Window setTimeout() Method

Like this:

var root = this;
setTimeout(function()
{
    root.movieClip.gotoAndPlay("frameName");
}, 200);
