There are alot of samples out there on how to pause the timeline, bit not som many on how to pause the flow of frames itself. So here you go:

1. Define a variable on a place where it will not be altered during the playing of the movie. For intance, create a keyframe on frame 1, and then on the end of the timeline set gotoframe(2).. so it will not be altered.

2. then at the place where you want your pause to occur use the following:

// pause1 is the frame to pause on

// i is the current frame

// 44 is the time to pause

 
if(i<pause1){
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
bb++;
if(bb>44){
play();
}
};
}
