hey…

I have a MC with an instance name of “knast” and 2 buttons to control the MC, but there something worg:

**button 01** (pause)

[COLOR=royalblue]on (press) {  
knastPosition=this.knast.position/1000;  
this.knast.stop();  
}[/COLOR]

this works…

but to get it started again…!?

**button 02** (play)

[COLOR=royalblue]on (press) {  
this.knast.start(knastPosition,0);  
}[/COLOR] ??

you want it to stop and play like this?

www.avalon-rev.dk/stopplay/stopplay.html

if it is, this is done thusly:

My MC is named “mover”. Made 2 buttons, one for play, one for stop.

Code for stop:

**on(release){  
\_root.mover.stop();  
}**

code for play:

**on(release){  
\_root.mover.play();  
}**

easy as that…
