Newbie question 2

[fjp476]

Hi, can some one please tell me how to make a simple pause button? Thanks in advance! Cheers~Frank

Something like:

on(release){
	if(stopped == 0){
	_root.stop();
	stopped = 1;
	}
	else if(stopped == 1){
	_root.play();
	stopped = 0;
	}
}

Thanks frozenpeas, I'll try it. Cheers~Frank

I copied and pasted it but it doesn't seem to work, do I need to alter it in any way? Thanks for the help. Cheers~Frank

Can you post an fla? I have no idea where you are copying/pasting, etc. frozenpeas

Thanks again for your help. I can't post the actual fla as it's proprietary but I made a quick example fla to show you where I put it (on the pause button). I appreciate it!
it's here:

On a first keyframe in your movie (better if on an actions only layer), simply defined the variable with:

stopped = false;

Or...

stopped = 0; Regards,
