Question : Flash CS3 Timer routine

I am working in Actionscript 3.0

I have two functions

startSomthing();

endSomething();

I also have an array

"one","two","three"

I need a routine that will move through the array and execute the following functions

startSomthing(); for a set amount of time, say 1 minute

endSomething(); execute the end routine after 1 minute

then repeat until all elements of the array have been passed through, so based on the array above it would last for 3 times.

I have tried some things in Actionscript but havent been able to figure out the routine to make this happen.

thanks
