Hi,  
Just wondering if it is possible to have a movie clip play just once throughout an entire movie. For instance, I have a draggable content area for my website and each button opens a new content area which is draggable. Well, when the user rolls over the content area, I want a movie to pop up that tells them the content area is draggable, but then I don’t want that message to appear again.

Hopefully this makes sense? What code do I need to insert for this? The particular clip is called ‘dragMov’.  
Thanks!
