Hi!

I am new to this site and I’m new to Flash. (And my english isn’t that good…)

I have a problem with my buttons. I am sure this is a simple matter for the most of you in here, but I have only been working with Flash for 3 weeks, so for me its a mystery.  
If any of you could take a moment and help me I would be a very happy girl! 🙂

My problem is this:

I have a button and I want it to play a animation (movie) everytime someone presses that button down. Now I only managing to get the animation to play if I hold the button down.

Do you understand my problem and can help me?

Thanks for any help: Caline
