Hi all,

I have the following code on my button:

on (release) {  
getURL ("[http://www…");](http://www..../)  
\_parent.\_parent.gotoAndPlay(288);  
}

but I have to double click the link to have the button go back and play frame 288 (in the previous two movie clips, hence the \_parent.\_parent). Any ideas on how I can make the button work properly with a single click? If I put a play(); action at the end of my first movie clip (replacing the stop(); action there now) the button works properly with one click but it disrupts the functionality of my other buttons. Any suggestions?

Thanks
