Animation in the "UP" button state, plays when movie loads

I had great help before and i have come back again to ask this: How can i stop my animation for my UP state from playing everytime the whole swf loads? Right now i have a MC inserted into the up state so that i can have an animation that will play when the user rolls out. It works ok, but if you anyone has a suggestion how i can create one where the animation starts where the animation stops instead of it always starting from the beginning of my out sequence. Anyway i digress, my real problem is the upstate playing on load. Thanks for your help in advance…
