I’m a novice or perhaps even a “newbie”. There’s probably a simple solution to this.

I have an _on (release)_ button that jumps frames by going to a specificically named frame. It works but when you click on it twice consecutively, it then proceeds to the next frame.

There might be multiple ways to solve this. Any suggestions? Maybe I should have the button deactivated after it is clicked once? How might I go about that if that is the best solution?

Thanks.
