Hi im trying to make a simple animated news page for digital flash magazine, I want there to be several boxes on the page that are static until you mouse over them at which point they will start to animate.

I have got that far i have created the symbol and i have build the animation inside of the symbol.

In my actions layer i have put…

Symbol.stop();

Symbol.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL\_OVER, animateMC);  
function animateMC(evt:MouseEvent):void{

Symbol.play();  
}

and that works the symbol is static until i mouse over and it begins to play the part im having an issue with it making the animation stop when you move your mouse away (MOUSE\_OUT)

can someone please help?

Thanks in advance
