Im creating a simple movie clip that consists of 3 looping images - along with a play/pause button, a next button and a previous button.

The actionscript I have got to stop the keyframe at an image conflicts with the actionscript to pause the movie:

Holding the keyframe:

[COLOR=navy]stop();  
pause = function () {  
play();  
clearInterval(pausei);  
};  
pausei = setInterval(pause, 3000);[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000080][/COLOR]  
Pause actionscript:[COLOR=#000080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000080]on(press){  
nav\_playmc.\_visible=true;  
nav\_pause.\_visible=false;  
stop();  
} [/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000080][COLOR=#000000]Play actionscript: [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000080]on(press){  
nav\_playmc.\_visible=false;  
nav\_pause.\_visible=true;  
gotoAndPlay(\_currentframe+1);  
}  
[/COLOR]
