          You have a couple of options.

           

          The quick-and-dirty (and not recommended) solution is to tie up your processor doing nothing for 2 seconds:

          tMillis = the milliseconds + 2000

          repeat while the milliseconds < tMillis

            nothing

          end repeat

           

          A better solution is to use a timeout object and a callback handler (I can't tell if the code you posted is in a behavior script attached to a sprite or in a movie script):

          -- yadda yadda

          t = timeout().new("goNext", 2000, #mNavigate, 0)

           

           

          -- add this new handler to a movie script

          on mNavigate padParameter, aTimeout

            if ilk(aTimeout, #timeout) then aTimeout.forget()

            go next

          end
