Pause multiple MC's

[mileso]

Hi, can anyone tell me the best way to get a movie (and everything on the main timeline) to pause and then restart? This is the code i am currently using but it doesnt pause everything:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (doWhat == "1") {
stopAll();
}
if (doWhat == "2") {
startAll();
}
doWhat = "0";

};

function stopAll() {
mcP.pauseTarget(myVideo);
mySound.stop();
pausePosition = mySound.position/1000
stop();
}

function startAll() {
mcP.resumeTarget(myVideo)
mySound.start(pausePosition);
};

you can keep a 'collection' of all clips that are on the stage in an 'array' and the loop through it pausing/stopping all the clips in that array..

or maybe use the movieClip protoype to do the work..
