There is no sleep() equivalent in ActionScript, so you're not likely to
find a solution for a for() loop. You do, however, have setInterval() and
setTimeout() in ActionScript 1.0/2.0 and the Timer class in ActionScript
3.0. All of the above have the capability of executing a specified
function/method after a specified perioud of time, in milliseconds.
