Handing Line Events

The example in chapter eight offers methods for pausing and resuming clips (actually in the book example these methods are never used).
I changed the code a little bit, to be able to use this methods.
But be aware that the update method (see p. 219) makes the pausing of clips impossible, because it sets the frame position at 0, so it's just the same as stopping the clip. So you have to modify the update method to be able to do pausing on clips.
