I have a mc that I use as a stop/play button for music. One the main stage there are 3 of these buttons for 3 different songs. One frame one of each MC there is a triangle for play with this code:  
stop();

btn\_play.onRelease = function (){  
stopAllSounds();  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
}

Then on frame 2 there is a square for stop with this code:

stop();

btn\_stop.onRelease = function (){  
gotoAndStop(1);  
stopAllSounds();  
}

It works fine as far as stopping and playing. The stopAllSounds is to prevent the music from overlapping in case the user didn’t press stop before playing a different song.

Here’s the problem:

If the user presses play to hear a song then wants to hear another song so he decides to click play on a different song without first clicking the stop button there a problem.

The problem is that he is still stopped on frame 2 of the first song therefor the square is still visible. In this case in order to hear the first song again he would have to double click.

My question is:  
Is there any way, from the main timeline, I can tell it onRelease of a specific button within a specific buttion to make a different mc to got frame 1?
