I’ve created some scrolling images and want to add a play and pause button to it. I want it playing when the site loads up but I can’t get it to stop. I’ve used the stop(); AS but it won’t work. I think it’s because I haven’t made it using tweening etc as the scrolling is purely AS based.

The FLA file is [here](http://www.groovygraphics.co.uk/website/index.fla) could someone take a look please and tell me what AS I would need to add to my buttons so it will stop and play. I haven’t created the buttons but I will have one for play and one for pause.

Thanks
