how to pause SWF playback

[j9lemmon]

Is there a way to create a temporary button that allows you to pause a SWF in the middle of playback? Hopefully when you pressed a 'resume' button, the SWF would beginto play at the exact point where it paused.

It all depends on how the playback is running and what is running within it. If it's all timeline based, then you could probably have the button tell it to gotoAndStop(_currentframe); though I never tried it. IF you have multiple timelines playing at the same time, then you'd have to command each to stop as well. If the action isn't timeline based, then you'd have to have some conditionals built into your actionscript that prohibit code from being processed while a pause-related variable has a true value.
