Start/Stop button in AS3

Question

Hi all i have a problem. I'm developing an iOS app, a scoreboard. I added a start button, a stop button and a reset button but there isn't enaugh space for the buttons. So i decided to create a Start/Stop Button.
Pratically, the button displays starts, i pass the mouse over and the timer start. Then the button displays Stop, i pass the mouse and the timer stop, then it displays another time start ecc.
How to do this?
