Very Cool Ben! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Rob,
You could place the movie clip onto a layer in the _root (or whichever
timeline you want to call it from).
Set the first frame of your movie clip to be blank, add a "stop();" action
to the first frame, and label the frame "paused".
The content can begin on the second frame, which you might label "startHere"
So from the main timeline, you attach this script to the button
on (release) {
gotoAndPLay(_root.myMovieClip,'startHere');
}
To make the movie disappear, attach this script to the button "x".
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(_root.myMovieClip,'paused');
}
Something along those lines should work.

Matt. I was going to do something like this. In fact this is how I've always
done things like this in Flash. I wanted a better less time consuming way
though.
