Stop help

[Xeris2]

Sorry to ask this but I have a clipEvent(mouseDown) and inside of that function I have stop();. I have this in every single frame of my movie because when I have the mouse down I want it to act as a pause then when I let the mouse go I want it to resume. I will do the other part later. I'm just trying to get the mouse down to stop my movie first. Anyone know why this may not be working?

not exactly sure if this is what you're asking but, follow me

open a new Flash file.
draw a little box on the left side of the stage.
convert it to a movie clip called whatever.
double click to go inside the movie clip.
click on frame 150 in the timeline.
press F6 to insert a new keyframe.
(while on frame 150) drag the box (should be a raw shape) to the right side of the stage.
click on frame 90.
in the properties panel select Tween > Shape.
Preview the movie, you should see the box tweening across the stage.
go back to your _root timeline.
(with the movie clip selected) give the movie clip the Instance Name "clip" (no quotes) in the Properties Panel.
create a new layer & paste the following code in the actions panel for the new keyframe :

onMouseDown = function () {
	clip.stop();
}

onMouseUp = function () {
	clip.play();
}

Preview the movie & click & release to test the pausing.

Close to what you wanted?
