Hello,  
i have a button that has an over state that animates the button. There is also a down state that triggers a different animation of that same button. Here is my problem: The rollover animation works, but to get the down state animation to execute completely i have to hold the mouse button down. If i let go, the over animation begins again. I would like to simply click the button once for the down animation to run in it’s entirety. This button is set up as a button symbol.  
thanks
