Hi,

I am trying to use the letter x to stop and play my movie, I got it to sucessfully stop but I am having trouble restarting it, can anyone please help me. this is what i have so far:

```auto
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
    var keyCode = Key.getCode();

    if (keyCode == 88) {
        _root.stop();
    } 
    
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
stop();

```

Thanks,  
Petra
