Hi, this is my first post - so please be gentle with me!
I’ve been using Flash for a few weeks now, but have confused myself…
I have a single button at the end of my intro page.
The button has movie clips within it : mouse over - the button does this, mouse down - the button does that…
My first problem, You need to keep the mouse button pressed to get the clip to play all the way through. It reverts to mouse-over when the button is released! How do I code it to stop the mouse over movie and play the mouse down movie?
The second problem, keeping the mouse button depressed (only way I can play the whole clip at the moment!) I can’t get the mouse down animation to stop at the end. I’ve added a ‘GOTO URL’ action as the last frame of the down movie clip, but the movie just seems to repeat.
Am I missing something simple?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.

this is the technique you are going to want to use.

but you are going to have to change it around.
