I am stuck with the ActionScript here. I have a very complex animated flash movie for eLearning. These contain around 10 to 15 frames. In each frame I am having multiple movie clip symbols. The animation has been created using a blend of scripting and also normal flash animation.
Now I want to create pause and play functionality for the entire movie. I was able to create the pause function but when i try to play the movie it behaves very strange.
I was able to develop the pause functionality by refering to the below mentioned links:

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated as i am approaching a deadline.
I am pasting the code below:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
// function to stop all movieclips
function stopAll(content:DisplayObjectContainer):void
{
if (content is MovieClip)
(content as MovieClip).stop();
if (content.numChildren)
{
var child:DisplayObjectContainer;
for (var i:int, n:int = content.numChildren; i < n; ++i)
{
if (content.getChildAt(i) is DisplayObjectContainer)
{
child = content.getChildAt(i) as DisplayObjectContainer;
if (child.numChildren)
stopAll(child);
else if (child is MovieClip)
(child as MovieClip).stop();
}
}
}
}
// function to play all movieclips
function playAll(content:DisplayObjectContainer):void
{
if (content is MovieClip)
{
var movieClip:MovieClip = content as MovieClip;
if (movieClip.currentFrame < movieClip.totalFrames) // if the main timeline has reached the end, don't play it
movieClip.gotoAndPlay(currentFrame);
}
if (content.numChildren)
{
var child:DisplayObjectContainer;
var n:int = content.numChildren;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
{
if (content.getChildAt(i) is DisplayObjectContainer)
{
child = content.getChildAt(i) as DisplayObjectContainer;
if (child.numChildren)
playAll(child);
else if (child is MovieClip)
{
var childMovieClip:MovieClip = child as MovieClip;
if (childMovieClip.currentFrame < childMovieClip.totalFrames)
//childMovieClip.play();
childMovieClip.play();
}
}
}
}
}
function resetMovieClip(movieClip:MovieClip):MovieClip
{
var sourceClass:Class = movieClip.constructor;
var resetMovieClip:MovieClip = new sourceClass();
return resetMovieClip;
}
pauseBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickStop_1);
function onClickStop_1(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(root).stopAll(this);
myTimer.stop();
}
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickPlay_1);
function onClickPlay_1(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(root).playAll(this);
myTimer.start();
}
Other code which helps in animating the movie and other functionalities are as pasted below:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, mascot);
function mascot():void {
// Defining variables
var mc1:MovieClip = this.mascotAni;
var sw:Number = stage.stageWidth;
var sh:Number = stage.stageHeight;
// resizing movieclip
mc1.width = sw/3;
mc1.height = sh/3;
// positioning mc
mc1.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(mc1.width/2);
mc1.y = (stage.stageHeight/2)-(mc1.height/2);
// keeps the mc1 proportional
mc1.scaleX <= mc1.scaleY ? (mc1.scaleX = mc1.scaleY) : (mc1.scaleY = mc1.scaleX);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, mascot);
}
mascot();
this.mascotAni.y = 100;
function mascotReset():void
{
// Defining variables
var mc1:MovieClip = this.mascotAni;
stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, mascot);
mc1.width = 113.45;
mc1.height = 153.85;
mc1.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(mc1.width/2);
mc1.y = (stage.stageHeight/2)-(mc1.height/2);
// keeps the mc1 proportional
mc1.scaleX <= mc1.scaleY ? (mc1.scaleX = mc1.scaleY) : (mc1.scaleY = mc1.scaleX);
