hello, all

i am trying to do something that seems ridiculously simple, however, i am stumped and would appreciate any help

i have attached the working fla; it contains only a button called ‘team\_bu’ and the code, as follows:

import flash.display._;  
import flash.events._;  
import flash.text.\*;

team\_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, onMouseOver);  
team\_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OUT, onMouseOut);

team\_bu.buttonMode = true;

function onMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
trace(“over”);  
team\_bu.gotoAndStop(“over”);  
}

function onMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
trace(“out”);  
team\_bu.gotoAndStop(“up”);  
}

on rollover, the bu moves to ‘over’ and stops, but the nest mc animation (the red band) keeps looping, and my trace is displaying ‘over’ ‘out’ endlessly, even while i keep my mouse over the button

thanks in advance!
