well, flash only does what you tell it to do. and from the sound of it, the button seems to start that movie when you click it, am i correct? if not, please tell me what the button is supposed to do, and if possible post an FLA so i can look at your problem.

yeah your right, the movie is suppose to start when the button is clicked, i wanted to know if theres a way to stop the button from starting the movie over again once it’s already been started.
