How to Pause a Flash Movie

If only you could customize the modal dialogue, hehe!

Works with animations as well as code. Since it’s modal, it’ll also prevent your users from interacting with the Flash movie itself.

function pause()
{
        var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
        my_pj.start();
        my_pj.addPage(this);
        my_pj.send();
}

pause();

  2. Interesting indeed, the only thing I can add is that you can alternatively do your switch statement like so:

    switch(Key.getCode()){
    case 80: case 19:
    pauseMovie();
    break;
    }

    Cheers!

  4. but that beings up the print dialogue box (WinXP) – surely that will confuse the hell out’a users ?
