A pause within a pause - please help!

[Andrew_Bang]

Firstly I am using Flash CS4 and AS 2. My actionscript skills are pretty basic as I am more of a designer than a coder.

I have a long timeline that needs to pause at certain places to allow sound to play. I have achieved this

For this I used keyframes at various points with the script (for example)...

stop();
setTimeout(function () { play(); },10000);;

Apologies hlaf the thread went missing!

I also have a pause and a play button to control the entire timeline just scripted with a stop and a start.

I can't get the pause button to pause when it is pressed when the pause above is in effect. Also pressing play whilst in the pause will cause it to skip forward in the timeline. I am also having trouble pausing and restarting the sound which is currently embedded in the timeline.

Some help would be greatly appreciated!

I dont understand....

are you trying to pause the TIMLINE?

or are you trying to pause AUDIO?


its not clear on what the actual problem is.

and what you want as a result.

I am trying to pause both the audio and the timeline at the same time with a pause button.

The problem is I have a set Interval at points in the timeline and I cannot get the timeline to and audio to pause with the button when the set Interval is in effect.
