How do I resume animation on mouse click?

I created a simple animation of water flowing through pipes and need it to pause at certain points then resume on a mouse click. How do I do that with actionscript 3.0?

Correct answer Ned Murphy

Use the play() command in the event handler...

resumeBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeAnimation);

function resumeAnimation(evt:MouseEvent):void {

       play();

}

If you do not have a button for this and just want to click anywhere try changing the event listener to...

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeAnimation);

either place stop() on the water movieclip's timeline where you want that pause or use an enterframe loop to repeatedly check that movieclips currentFrame.
