I have a movieclip mc\_content. I am using it to slideshow 200 images. I am using this code for transition-  
stop();  
setInterval(myFunction, 6000);

function myFunction()  
{  
import mx.transitions._;  
import mx.transitions.easing._;  
if(mc\_content.\_currentframe==mc\_content.\_totalframes){  
mc\_content.gotoAndStop(mc\_content.\_currentframe)  
}else{  
TransitionManager.start(mc\_content, {type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN,  
duration:2, easing:None.easeNone, numStrips:20, dimension:5});  
mc\_content.nextFrame();  
}  
}

I have a pause button at main timetine and using the code;-  
on (press)  
{  
mc\_content.stop();  
}  
But its not working. Plz help me. I want to use the pause button to pause the movieclip at any image where I click it.
