I’m at my wits end,

I attached a code to “frame 1” in a movie clip, and the movie stops on frame 16, yet the rollover script is still running on frame 16.

How do I make sure it only runs when its on frame 1? or whatever set of frames it’s in?

so it looks like this  
LAYER FRAMES  
SCRIPT |1|  
BUTTON |1------------------16|

But the code in “script” is still active and running way passed frame 1, I don’t get it.

is their way to stop the code from running outside its assigned frame? like a stop command? I even used “if” conditions and it still runs the code.

And their is a stop command on frame 16 that so it’s not looping back to  
frame 1.

Thanks for reading, I’m really getting annoyed, haha.
