Hi Mirianam
I am not sure that I understend what you want to do with your contrl
button but here are some suggestions.

Rather than setting the visibility on and off you should consider
moving the sprite in and out of the stage area:
on mouseDown me
set the locH os sprite 31 = here you specify the locH you want
set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1
end
Setting the visibility can cause problems.

on mouseUp me
set the movie rate of sprite 6 = 0
set the locH of sprite 31 = - 1000
end

You have to set a flag that checks if the video is palying or not,
add this line to your *on startMovie* script:
set myflag = 0
Then on your sprite script:
on mouseDown me
global myflag
set the locH os sprite 31 = here you specify the locH you want
if myflag = 0 then
set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1
myflag = 1
else
set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 2
end if
end
on mouseUp me
gloabl myflag
if the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1 then
set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 0
myflag = 0
if the movieRate of sprite 6 = 2 then
set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1
if the movieRate of sprite 6 = 0 then
set the movieRate of sprite 6 = -1
end if
end if
end if
end
A better way would be to use a case statement:
on mouseUp me
checkMyFlag
end
on checkMyFlag
global myflag
case of (the movieRate) true
2: then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1
0: then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = -1
1: then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 0
set myflag = 0
end case
end
I am sure that there are more elegant ways of doing it but
this should put you on the right track.
(totally untested)
