Global Stop

1

newbie question:
We have a flash scene with several movie clips embedded in it. I want to be able to globally control whether the scene plays or not. I named the each instance of the movie clips in the scene and assigned the action 'on keypress “s” - stop. This method only works on one clip and if assigned to the 3 of them the command does not work and everything keeps looping. If I edit the symbol and try and put a stop action there it doesn’t work either.

Anybody have any other ideas? thanks

I’m not sure about this, and I’m at work where I don’t have flash, but I have a sug. for you to try.
Try putting this on the timeline or on an empty movieClip:
[AS]
on keyPress(“s”){
_root.movieclip1.stop();
_root.movieclip2.stop();
_root.movieclip3.stop();
}
[/AS]
I don’t know if that will work. It’s what I would try.
Good luck.
