:h: The movieclips in my button keep repeating! I can’t seem to get them to play once. I already tried the “play once” command in the object properties. Inserting simple actionscript code using a timer and stop don’t seem to work either!

If someone has had the same problem could you please explain how you’ve solved it? :-/
