Question

I wanted to know how i would be able to make a tween wait a few extra seconds before it is carried out? MY CODE BELOW:

  btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, about_navigate);

    function about_navigate(event:MouseEvent):void
        {
        topbarTween.yoyo();
        //how to make the below tween wait 2 seconds before it is carried out   
        btmTween.yoyo();
        }

I am new to AS3 so any help would be much appreciated!

I don’t think the Native Tween class has a built in delay method (like most third party solutions do – Though someone please correct me if I’m mistaken).

What you can do is use flash.utils.setTimeout or a Timer.

function about_navigate(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    topbarTween.yoyo();
    setTimeout(btmTween.yoyo,2000);
}
