mouse over

[elektra]

hi
does anybody know how to do this: I have a button with an animated mouse over effect (a MC placed in the "over" frame of the button) - but I want it to stop so that this effect doesnt repeat it self when the button is clicked? Any suggestions?
thanks

Depending on how strenuous your program will be on your processor, you could always cheat at set the mc._visible = false, when you press the button.

Otherwise, I wouldn't put the movie clip in the over state. I would use something more like:

myButton.onRelease = function(){
canPlay=false;
//button code
}
myButton.onRollOver = function(){
if(canPlay){
myMc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}

Or you could just edit the movie clip (that's inside the button) and put a stop(); action in the last frame of the movie clip.
