A way to pause actionscript?

So here’s the situation. I have a large movieclip (4x movie width) and i wrote a function to scroll between those frames. In the background clouds are moving slowly over the stage (also with actionscript). When I scoll, everything slows down. Is there a way to pauze the actionscript or at least the clouds, until the scolling had been finished?

Anyone experienced the same problem?

Any reply is welcome :slight_smile:

Well, do you have the _alpha property for your cloud mc and/or your large mc set to less than 100%?
And whats the actionscript you got running?

No, no _alpha set for neither the cloud, nor the mc.

Here’s a link, they perhaps you can see what i mean (unless when your computer is too fast ;))
