Allright, let me start off saying that I’m a bit of a newb to flash, now that we’ve gotten out of the way, let me ask my question.

I created a button , inside the button I assigned the different states to certain things I wanted it to do, on the down state I attached a movie that was to play when the button was clicked. When I go to test it however, I noticed that I have to keep the mouse button down for the movie to play, otherwise it return to it previous state. Is there a way that I can make it so the movie which is embeded in the down state of the button can play with the mouse clicking the button only once?

thanks for your reply
