In the attached file, I have one movieclip with a MOUSE\_OVER listener attached. On MOUSE\_OVER, the movieclip should start playing @ frame 2 and stop @ frame 19. On MOUSE\_OUT, the movieclip should start playing @ frame 20 and stop on frame 37.

For some reason, the MOUSE\_OVER event keeps running as long the cursor is over the MC. Can’t seem to figure out why. If I remove the shape tweens inside the MC, the event seems to work fine.

Any suggestions are welcome.
