Hi there,

I was wondering how to play and pause a movie clip by clicking on the movie clip itself.

Within this movie clip I have an FLV embedded. I have managed to get the the movie clip to stop/pause by adding this action script to it:

on (release) {  
movie1.stop();  
stop();  
}

What I want to know is how to make it start playing again, from the same spot, by clicking on the movie clip again.

Any help would be appreciated. (I have had a search through the forums but I haven’t found exactly what I want.)

Cheers
