Can you pause both animation and sound? I know you can do

on(release){  
stop();  
stopAllSounds();  
}

but you can’t start the sounds again after that at the place they were at, like a soundtrack. What is the actionscript (if it exists) for a pause and play buttons that also pause and play the sounds?

Imported movies pause sound with stop();, do i have to export an swf with like just the soundfile and put that in? Cause i think that would work but sounds like too much trouble.
