Do you mean continuing a recording after you've closed out of the emulator? If so:
  1. Open emulator and ROM.
  2. Start playback of movie. Leave "read only" mode on for now.
  3. Wait for (or turbo to) the point you wish to resume from. If you have save states from then, do load them.
  4. Disable read only mode, save a state, and immediately load that state. You are now recording from that point.

If you have a state saved at the exact point you want to continue recording from, then yes, you could just load the state to resume recording (assuming read only mode is off).

Be careful if you are using VisualBoyAdvance 23 or older (maybe it is only existent in 22 and older, I'm not sure). There is a huge bug with it. If you are loading a savestate while playing back a movie file, and that savestate is not from your movie, it will tell you but it will switch to recording mode and resume recording from the current frame, destroying your movie. Make backups of your movie and take care!
