Hi Everyone!  
I have a near impossible quest: building a pause/play button that stops sound and animation of\*\* all\*\* levels that the button is not on. I was impressed with this kirupa tutorial: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/pause.shtm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/pause.shtm)  
and while it is a great tutorial (…of course) it is insufficient for my needs.

by the way, it would be best if I don’t have to target any movieclips.

please tell me if my dream is stupid.  
thanks!
