Play pause toggle button

Question

Hi,
I'm new to Flash. Kindly help anyone.
Need assistance to create toggle button. Here attaced two screenshots.
1. inner-animation.jpg - it contains all movie clips and play pasue controls.
2.main-animation.jpg - this is the main timeline ( inside all movie clips & control buttons)
3.playbuton-inside.jpg - its a button symbol ( as well as pause )
4. There also bg music and sounds for some particular animation.
Here all working fine. But i need play & pause animation as a toggle button.
Here is the code i added for pause:
play();
pause_btn.onRelease=function(){
stop();
Here is the code i added for pause:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease=function (){
play();

You are using AS2 code, so you should be posting in the AS2 forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_actionscript?view=discussions).  If the intention is to use AS3 code, then you need to change things.
If the intention is to use the same single button for both pause and play, then what you normally would do is establish a boolean variable that you se to determine whether the clicking of the button should play or stop the movie...
var playMovie:Boolean = true; // assumes the movie is stopped at the start
pause_play_btn.onRelease = function (){
   if(playMovie){
       play();
       // manage play/pause btn
   } else {
       stop();
       // manage play/pause btn
   playMovie = !playMovie; // reverse the value of the playMovie variable
In that code where I show "// manage play/pause btn" is where you need to do whatever you need to make the pause/play button appear as intended... either hiding one or the other, or changing its frames to show the appropriate image.
