Hello,

I am attempting to create a toggle button that can play and pause the movie I
have on the main stage (scene 1). I also have tertiary navigation that will
allow the user to jump to a different part of the movie on the main stage.

What I Need:
I basically need the toggle button to track whether the user has paused or
unpaused the movie on the main timeline even when jumping through the tertiary
navigation (that allows the user to jump to different parts of the movie).

I can post actionscript code if needed.

Thank you in advance!

:



toggleBtn.onPress=function(){
if(!this.toggle){
_root.stop();
} else {
_root.play();
}
this.toggle=!this.toggle;
}

// toggleBtn.toggle can be used to determined whether the toggle button has
caused _root to play or stop

I attached he provided code and this works in pausing and unpausing the main
movie.

However, when the movie is paused and I click through the bottom tertiary
navigation, I have to click twice to get the movie to pause again.

Is this a timeline or an actionscript error?

Thank you agin for the help!

you'll need to use toggleBtn.toggle's value to assign actions to any other
controls of the main timeline (like your tertiary navigation). if you don't
understand how to do that, post a sample of your tertiary navigation code that
attempts to pause and unpause the main timeline.

Hello Kglad,

Here is the code I have attached to my "Intro" button in the tertiary
navigation:

-------------

}
intro_mc.onLoad = function() {
intro_mc.reverse = false;
};
intro_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (intro_mc.reverse) {
intro_mc.prevFrame();
}
};
intro_mc.onRollOver = function() {
intro_mc.reverse = false;
intro_mc.play();
};
intro_mc.onRollOut = intro_mc.onDragOut=function () {
intro_mc.reverse = true;
};
intro_mc.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("Intro");
};

----------

I'm not sure how to incorporate the toggle function into my tertiary
navigation. Again, your continued assistance with this is greatly, greatly
appreciated!

Thanks again!
Noah

if intro_mc is the same as _root, then use:



intro_mc.onRollOver = function() {
toggleBtn.toggle=false;
intro_mc.reverse = false;
intro_mc.play();
