Since I’m not the most eloquent person as far as writing is concerned, I’ll just present my problem in list-form:

1. I have a video incorporated into my flash file.
2. I need to control this video by having it stop in certain parts (as designated by the client) and then have it play again whenever a user presses a key on their keyboard. Think of it like a presentation.
3. I can get it to stop just fine, but I run into a problem when I try to get it to play again. Flash apparently whigs out whenever I try to use:

on (keyPress “”); {  
gotoAndPlay(121)  
}

I know this should reasonably easy to solve, but it’s completely over my head for some reason.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Never mind, I figured it out. I can be a real muppet sometimes.
