Hi again

I have a movie with multiple movie clips each one with its own animations.  
There’s a button that stops all animations (it works) and i want to make the same button start again the animations from same positions… but it isnt working.

I have this code to stop:

```auto
on(rollOver) {
		for(i in _root) {
				_root*.stop();
		}
}

```

And i tried this to play:

```auto
on(rollOut) {
		for(i in _root) {
				_root*.play();
		}
}

```

but it plays all the animations at once and from the start…

can you please look at my fla… because i cant explain this better…
