hi all,  
I have a simple animation, there’s a tween going on for about 20 frames, then another tween for other 20 frames. This is one layer with the object moving being a simple graphic.  
How would I implement a button that can stop the motion at any frame?  
To continue the motion, would I have to have a play button or is it possible to click again on the Pause button and everything moves again. (I’m sure it’s possible to do both, however, the 2 button solution may be simpler)

Thanks,
