Flashtease pause

I've searched the forum and can't find an answer to my question.
Is there a way to pause a flashtease?
For example, the viewer hits and edge, clicks on a pause button which pauses the tease, then after cooling off can hit a continue button and the tease will continue from that page....or the next page. Really doesn't matter which.
Thanks!!

There is no such feature.
There are other ways too pause a flash tease though, but it's technicallly rather complicated, since you would need to stop/hold timer, which use the system time as reference.

Thank you. If it's that complicated perhaps I should hold off since this is my first attempt at creating a tease....and I already think I might have bitten off more than I can chew.

Oh, wait, I think i got you wrong.
Ofcourse you can simply create a Pause button in your own teases. I somehow thought you would want to pause other flash teases.
Here's what you do:
Page 2 leads to page 3 but can be paused:
Code: Select all
2#page(
'<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="FontSans" SIZE="18" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">This page shows up if range generated a 2</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>',
pic("venice01.jpg"),
buttons(pause#, "Pause", start#, "I came", 3#, "Continue")
);
pause#page(
'Click Continue when youre ready',
pic("*.jpg"),
go(3#)
);
3#page(
'<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="FontSans" SIZE="18" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">This page shows up if range generated a 3</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>',
pic("venice02.jpg")
);

Or you could do it a bit easier
With a page that Looks
Exaclty the same as the previous, same photo, same text
with a hidden timer. (You can even keep the <edge> button just don't have it do anything)
Set the timer for as long as you want the pause to last
then just continue on to the next page.
Submatt and I have both used this technique it's fairly simple and you don't have to do Code work.

Oh cool!
Thank you both for the help. I really appreciate it.
I do have one more question though.
This is going to be a pretty long tease. I'm up to about 120 pages already.
Is there any limit at to the number of pages of anything?

Yeah I think there is a limit. Ive found the more images I upload to the editor, the less pages I can have...
Its a good idea to save your script in a text file on your computer regularly.Once you get too much information in there nyx can start acting strangely, deleting pages and just having a mind of its own.
If you dont have too many pictures/sounds etc, you can probably get 200-300+ pages.
Ive had to split some teases into 3 parts because they were too big for nyx to handle.
