play/pause button

[luckyy]

Could someone help me in creating a play/pause button, which starts in the play state, and goes to the pause state when the movie (or whatever it's controlling) is playing then back to the play state when paused .. like the button on the Quicktime player..

thanks

put this code on main timeline

stopped= false;
pause_btn.onRelease = function(){
if (stopped){
myclip.play();
stopped = false;
}else{
myclip.stop();
stopped = true;
}
}
