Pause a SWF

Hi,

I have a timer and I need to add a pause /play button.

I can not use _root. and this has to do with the fact that I loading the SWF into presentation software that does not like the _root. go figure.

is there a way to simple pause and play the SWF?

Well theres _parent. Plus it could also depend on where the code is being applied too.
