Hello,  
I have several MCs on the stage. Each have a basic animation. They have a button embedded so I can click on them. When I click on the first MC it starts animating.  
When I click on another MC I need the first animation to stop.  
Is there a stop command I can put in there that stops the other animation before starting its animation?  
Thank you.
