Dont know how to stop it from stopping

Hi, I have a project that I am working on in Flash and i only know the very basics of actionscript.

I have an animation that has stop actions at various stages throughout it, and i have a rollover button that plays the animation when it is stopped.
I would like to make it so that while the cursor is over the button, my animation will continue to play even if their is a stop action, but when i move my cursor off the button the animation plays until it is stopped by the next stop action.

Something that doesn’t use stop actions is fine, provided it does the same thing can anyone help me?
