Hi,

pls refer attchmnt.

When Pressing the Pause//Play Button … i need to pause and play (from [COLOR=DarkOrange] **where it is paused** [/COLOR]) the  
complete movie clips and nested clips …that i created in the Fla file.

There is only one Global button for pause//play throughout the presentation.

the script , I applied is

on (release){ // pause button’s script  
worldMC.stop();  
worldMC.USAmc.stop();  
worldMC.NewYorkMC.stop() … it’s working fine.

But problem with PLAY button.

on (release){ //play button’s script  
worldMC.play();  
worldMC.USAmc.play();  
worldMC.NewYorkMC.play()

With this script, it playing right from the begning.

when pressing the play button, i want to start from [COLOR=DarkOrange] **where it is paused** [/COLOR].  
(may be we paused when playing the child MC NewYork’s 50th frame. so start from Newyork MC’s 51 th frame)

is there any way to get the current frame with actionscript ?
