ive got a movie clip. and a button. and when the button is clicked, it would play d animation in d movie clip. d problem is, it can only work once, at least for one movie clip i have.

as in, d animation in the movie clip is of a rectangle showing itself from alpha 0 to 100. and what i want is when a button is clicked, that rectangle would show itself from alpha 0 -100.

it works when d button is clicked once. however, when d button is clicked twice, it doesnt.

and d movie clip is at frame 2, while button is at frame 1 and 2.

pls answer this… ive got threads that are left unanswered at other forums and its kinda depressing ☹

anyway, thx a ton for reading this post, and if u know why, pls just tell me why 🙂
