Hey,

Ive had a search through quite a few forums and message boards but havent quite been able to pin down what I need to do. I’m working in flash cs5 and using AS3

I have a button (bttn1) which when clicked plays a movieclip (bounce), but I would like it to play from frame 1 then stop on a desired frame(say frame 10), so when a second button is clicked (bttn2) it plays from frame 10. Hopefully i’ve explained it ok…

I’m sure its really simple but I cant seem to figure it out.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and thanks in advance!
