Does anyone have any idea how to make a pause button in flash8? I want to make a pause button and put it on top of a movie clip (which is masked on the main timeline). Once you press the button the movieclip stops and once you press it a second time the movie clip keeps going. Any thoughts folks.

Thnx. - Paint
