A quick snippet to do a setTimeout() in Actionscript 3:

import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1); // delay 1 second, repeats once
myTimer.start();
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerHandler);

private function timerHandler(e:TimerEvent):void
{
//_root.log(root.options[int(option)].caption);
//_root.playPlaylist();
}
