Another pause MC problem :(

Hello all,

Sorry for asking about this yet again, but I did do a search and after going through 6 pages of posts i still can’t get a .swf to pause. I am a noob so I prolly missed something simple.
On the main stage I have a layer that has an empty movieclip in it called “empty_MC”, which is the container. On another layer I have the action script with this code:

    empty_MC.loadMovie("fg.swf");

That all works well, the movie “fg.swf” loads up into the container “empty_MC” and plays fine.
I then have a button on the main stage called “PauseBtn” with the code:

   on (release) {

_root.empty_MC.stop();
}

I have also tried other forms of the path like : _root.empty_MC.fg.swf.stop() but I just can’t seem to get it right. Nothing has worked so far, fg.swf just continues to play through. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you :slight_smile:
