Can´t stop movieclip

hi there !

I made a movieclip with 5 frames inside. Well, outside, when i push a button stop, runs the code: this.movieclip_name.stop(); , but, doesn´t stop.

Inside these frames there is a enterframe function that call drawing api functions.

if you have:

on(release){
this.movieclip_name.stop();
}

I don’t think it will work, the “this” will target the button…try

on(release){
_root.movieclip_name.stop();
}

assuming your MC is on the _root timeline.

//if I’m way off in understanding your issue, can you uplaod your fla?
