Hi,  
I’m working on my first full flash site and I have created animated buttons by putting movie clips in the up and over states. This works great except for one thing, the up state plays when the page is loaded and I only want it to play when the mouse is removed from the button. Can anyone let me know how to do this?  
Thanks, Matt
