Assuming ur mc is called ‘myMc’ and it’s stoped in the first frame put this code on the butt:
```php
on (release){
myMc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
```

Assuming (again) u r loading the movie into a container called ‘container’, it’s stoped in the first frame and u want to play it again from a butt, put this code on the butt:
```php
on (release){
container.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
```

Note that u refer to the loaded movie by it’s container name

Hi,
Are u stoping the movie in frame1?
If so gotoAndPlay should be(2).(although is best to label the frames in wich case it’d be **mcTgt.gotoAndPlay(“PLAY”);** assuming u label the next frame to the one the movie is stoped in ‘PLAY’)
Cheers

No, I m not stopping the movie in frame1. I hv tried with frame label as well but nothing worked. for the time being i m unloading & loadingthe movie again in my replay button. but it doesnt seem to be a good solution. any other way of doing it.
