Movie clip=Roll over button

sorry to post without searching but i didnt know what to search for…

I want a rollover button to animate when i roll over it and stop when i roll out. Basically a movie clip that acts as a rollover button.

as easy as 123:

assuming that u have an animation on said mc
put on the mc
[AS]
on(rollOver){
this.play()
}
on(rollOut){
this.stop()
}
[/AS]

but the movie clip plays when it becomes present on the timeline. How do is stop that. (i tried putting a stop action on the first frame of the MC but that didnt work

try puttin a stop (); on the _parent of the MC
