how do you do an action script where you tell a button to play the “movie-clip” when “mouse roll-over”, and to make it where the “movie-clip” doesn’t repeat back to the beginning when it reaches the end of the “movie-clip”
-thanks

Welcome to the forums!
there are a few ways of doing it…here’s one:
On the last frame of your movieclip animation, add this code:
```php
stop();
```
on the properties inspector of your movieclip, enter this as the instance name: clip1
Put this code on a button
```php
on (rollOver) {
_root.clip1.play();
}
```
you could add a roll out to stop the animation as well
