Hi, I keep having this problem that when I put a button or form inside a movie clip, that button seems to be active all the time: for example, I have a button that plays a movie clip. However, the buttons that are in that movie clip work whether the movie clip has been started or not - even though you cant see them, you can press them. I hope someone understands what I mean, help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Insomniac
