I am having problems with placing buttons inside animated movie clips. The problem stems from the fact that each time the button is selected the tween inside the animated Mc plays.

I attach the file so that maybe you can see what the problem is and how I might sidestep the problem.

I looked at your fla and I must say its quite confusing… really you shouldn’t be using nested buttons the way you are - my opinion, it makes for h e l l if you need to go back and make changes later. In stead you should use AS. For the large button on stage you should put an onRollOver(); action to make the smaller button appear… you could do this in a few ways - how well do you know action script?

Peace
