Hi,

I've created a flash slideshow which is going over 16000 frames, so i've split the movie into two.
I'm loading the second movie at the end of main movie using "loadMovieNum".

I have the placed the play/pause button in the main movie. It works fine until the second movie loads. This is used to work in older version of Flash(Flash 8). I'm using CS4 now.

Do you have any workaround for this?

WOW!!! THANK YOU! Words alone are not enough. Just as the first comment said, I spent so long looking for this exact solutuion and it was nowhere. Only thing was just as someone pointed out I had to set the export settings to ActionScript 2.0 or it did not work.

Excellent tutorial, took a bit to do as I was using Actionscript 3.0! You can't seem to use the Actions -Buttons command in AS3 only AS2, once the publish settings were changed no probs!

Many thanks

This information was increadibly helpful. If you have Adobe Flash CS3, there is a control pannel called "Components". In this section, there are all the controls for making a movie pause/play. You only need to drag them to your movie. If you do not have this version the code above works great! Thanks again.
