Try passing in the function name as a string. Like so:
_root.stopButton.onRelease = function() { startStopMovies(_root, "stop"); };
/* Attach function to start button: */
_root.startButton.onRelease = function() { startStopMovies(_root, "play");
};
// Functions:
//
startStopMovies = function(location, control) {
for(var movie in location) {
if (typeof(location[movie]) == "movieclip") {
location[movie][control]();
stopMovies(location[movie]);
}
}
//_root.control;
};
If you don't pass the function name as a string, I think it isn't scoped to
location[movie] as you intend.

Hi jim! Thanks for you quick response, I really appreciate the help.
Below is my updated code:
_root.stopButton.onRelease = function() { startStopMovies(_root, stop); };
/* Attach function to start button: */
_root.startButton.onRelease = function() { startStopMovies(_root, play); };
// Functions:
//
startStopMovies = function(location, control) {
for(var movie in location) {
if (typeof(location[movie]) == "movieclip") {
location[movie][control]();
stopMovies(location[movie]);
}
}
//_root.control;
};
Does the above look right? It is not working for me at the moment...
I wish I were better at AS, I hate to bug all with minor scripting issues...
does anyone have any good links/tutorials for timeline controls?
Many thanks Jim,
Cheers,
Micky
