Hi all I am trying to pause my MC when I onpress on that MC, when it loads a new (\_blank) window.

EG:  
on (press){  
\_root.themovie.gotoAndStop.(\_currentframe);  
getURL(“image1.jpg”, “\_blank”);  
}

But when my page loads into the new window and I go back to the main content window on where I clicked the original MC has already started playing! And I am also pausing using my onRollover command, so I really have 2 functions telling it to pause!

These are my other on states

on (rollOver){  
framevar = \_currentframe;  
gotoAndStop(framevar);  
\_root.attachMovie(“clickhere”, “clickhere\_mc”, 0, {\_x:\_xmouse, \_y:\_ymouse});  
\_root.photomain.stop();  
\_root.photomain.slideshow.gotoAndStop(“paused”);  
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
\_root.clickhere\_mc.\_x = \_xmouse ;  
\_root.clickhere\_mc.\_y = \_ymouse ;  
}

on (rollOut){  
clickhere\_mc.removeMovieClip();  
\_root.photomain.play();  
\_root.clickhere\_mc.gotoAndPlay(“finishup”);  
\_root.photomain.slideshow.gotoAndStop(“playing”);  
}

Any help would be great
