I passed the stage as the displayObject, and everything stopped. Problem came up where I couldn't resume play on the nested timeline, but the main timeline did resume. To resume play, I basically copied the function above, and changed stop to play. Used the reply by Mike, worked great. I passed the stage as the displayObject, and everything stopped.

But yeah, Mike, that's a much better way of including everything. I didn't think about Sprites. Thank you for the contribution!

What if you pass Sprite instance to haltAllAnimations method? Sprites can have MovieClips as children, so your solution will not work. Try this one: function stopAllChildMovieClips(displayObject:DisplayObjectContainer):void { var numChildren:int = displayObject.numChildren; for (var i:int = 0; i < numChildren; i++) { var child:DisplayObject = displayObject.getChildAt(i); if (child is DisplayObjectContainer) { if (child is MovieClip) { MovieClip(child).stop(); } stopAllChildMovieClips(DisplayObjectContainer(child)); } } } Useful, but not perfect.
