Thanks!
I got it going using a similar method to what you described...
Now the problem is, when I start it again, I need to know what clips
were playing at the time of the pause, so only those ones get
restarted. Is there a way to find out the status of a MovieClip, i.e.
whether it is playing or not?
bye!
