but how do you pause a movieclip in general. not for a few seconds, but until the user unpauses it. i see that the pause() function was removed when AS2.0 came out for some retarded reason.

all i want to do is pause a MC on button press, and unpause (resume from current frame) when the button is pressed again. should be the simplest things in the world. im writing AI in sidescrollers with complicated bosses/powerups/levels/animations but i can't pause lol...
