Flash animated button problem...

animation doesn't stop on mouse-out

[jondb]

I've created an animated button in Flash. The animation is nested in the mouse-over state only, but when the mouse leaves the scene the button keeps on rolling! What have I missed? I do want the clip to loop for as long as the mouse is over.

Button is imported into Dreamweaver, by the way.

Any ideas?

If your rollover says play(), you need a rollout that says stop().

Keep in mind where it stops: you may want to say something like gotoAndStop(0); // or a frame name

have a nice weekend

(waitaminit-- I think I missed the whole point of your post. sorry. Haven't done buttons with flash in one state of a rollover.. could be similar answer, though)

If me understands correctly, it plays animation on the 'over' state, and you want it to stop when the mouse goes off the button? WEll, there should be a keyframe on the 'UP' state, then another with the animation on the 'over' state. You could always add a stop() action to the 'UP' state for good messure....
