I have an onClipEvent (mouseMove) {  
play();  
}  
action on a movie clip, but I would like it to be an onRollover.  
can I just change the code (which I will go try right now)  
or do I have to somehow treat the mc as a button?

Thanks :tie:

Try this:

```php
on (rollOver){
	this.play();
}

```

Thank you 😏  
I jumped the gun on that one instead of taking a minute to figure it out myself…in a hurry at work _L_
