I am creating a MAIN flash movie, which will pull in other external movie clips.

The navigation on the MAIN flash movie will be a text paragraph (a text symbol, not actual text) which scrolls horizontally across the bottom with link buttons in it, which will call the external movies. The navigation will be visible at all times.

What I am trying to accomplish, is to have the text navigation scroll, and when a button within it is pressed, the scrolling will stop at it's current position, and an external movie will be loaded. Then I want to return to the text navigation, and have it resume it's scrolling where it left off.

So basically, what actionscript could I use to scroll the text navigation in a loop, and then make the scrolling stop when a button within itself is pressed. Then maybe have a button to resume scrolling.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!
