Hey,  
Easy little problem for anyone that has done this before. Got a button with a gotoAndStop. When it gets to that frame I want to have a little bit o’ script there to tell it to remain in that buttons over state.

Should be simple, but I never did it with a button. I normally use MCs. Anyone know the syntax for it?
