Ok - I’ve never claimed to be a Actionscript person … so this might be a simple question …

I’ve got this right here:

```auto
stop();
function Go(frame){
clearInterval(myInterval);
gotoAndPlay(frame);
}
var myInterval = setInterval(Go, 15000, 8061)

```

Now I would like to stop this from happening if a certain button is pressed … basically i’ve set this time interval to run in case no one presses the button to continue on in the movie - if the button is pressed I would like to stop the function/interval from running and do the action that the particular button is assigned … is this possible?

Any ideas?

Thanks! 🙂

Boon.
