Hi yasir123

I sourced some code awhile back when I needed to do something similar.

First make sure all your content is in movie clips 1 or more is fine. If you have lots on the stage then you need to name them mc1, mc2, etc. Then setup an Array in your actions frame.

myMovieClips = new Array("mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4", "mc5", "mc6", "mc7");

Once you have the same corresponding clip names in the array as on the stage add a function with a for loop for the stop and play elements.

// play
function myMovieClipsStart() {
	trace("play");
	for (var i = 0; i<=myMovieClips.length-1; i++) {
		this[myMovieClips[i]].play();
	}

}

// pause/stop
function myMovieClipsStop() {
	trace("pause");
	for (var i = 0; i<=myMovieClips.length-1; i++) {
		this[myMovieClips[i]].stop();
	}

}

Now all you need is the code for the 2 buttons;

this.pause_btn.onRelease = function() {
	myMovieClipsStop();
};

this.play_btn.onRelease = function() {
	myMovieClipsStart();
};

From what I can gather the above as tells each movieclip to stop it's timeline when pause is pressed and then continue once play is pressed. Good luck.

Hope that helps -
