Hello,

I’m trying to play multiple things once one of the buttons (which is a move clip) has been clicked.  
there’s one movie clip that animates something, another that animates something else, and i also want the button itself (a movie clip) to play a rollout animation. what’s the best way i could do this?

thanks very much for the help.

```auto

button.onRelease = function () {
    mc1.play();
    mc2.play();
    mc3.play();
    // you get the idea..
}

button.onRollOut = function () {
   // control a clip or call a function or something for the rollOver
}

```

Of course the clips being told to play() should have a stop() command on frame 1 or someplace so the clip doesnt play automatically anyway. Good luck!
