Stopping all movieclips

1

I have a button that stops my main time line I would a also like to stop the animations inside the movieclips as well.

I know how to target individual MCs and make them stop but is there a way to stop everything globally?

here is what I have now…

stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBack);

function goBack(evt:Object):void {
    stop();
}

I would just like to stop all MC on the stage as well as the main timeline.

you’d better make an Array to hold all the mc as refrence,this can help you control all the mcs easy and clearly for other to read your code.
