I have an MC called “play\_mc” which is a box. On the first frame within the timeline of “play\_mc” is stop(); and on the second starts a animation, ending on frame 5 with stop();

Basically what I want is that when “play\_mc” is clicked, it will go into the animation. The problem is whenever it finishes the animation and I click it again, it does the animation all over again.

I’ve tried writing the code like this:

on(press) {  
if (\_currentFrame = 1) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
} else {  
stop();  
}  
}

But it doesn’t work. Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.
