is it possible to pause a script?  
my friend had me make this  
[http://www.dmnetworks.net/flash/pictures.swf](http://www.dmnetworks.net/flash/pictures.swf)  
he wants it to display the names (which i figured out how to do) and he also wants the pictures to stop scrolling…i have no idea how to pause running scripts…so if anyone could tell me thatd be great

thanks
