Modify the script for the Pause button
Now you need to modify the PauseScript Lingo so that the sound pauses when the user clicks the
Pause button to pause the video.
1
In the Cast window, select the PauseScript cast member, and click the Cast Member Script
button at the upper right of the window. The Script window opens with the PauseScript
displayed.

Place the insertion point at the end of the second line of the handler that reads:
sprite(1).movieRate = 0

Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh). On the new line, type the following:
sound(1).pause()
This Lingo tells Director to pause the sound in sound channel 1.

Close the Script window and save your movie.
Now when you click the Pause button in the sound and video scene, the sound and video pause
at the same time. When you click the Play button again, the video will resume and the sound
plays again.
