Stopping the main time line from a MC

hi,

I have a main movie clip which loops continuously on the main timeline. Within this MC are another set of MCs which will be used as buttons.

I would like it so that when the mouse goes over the MC on the highest level, the main timeline stops.

Ive tried doing on(RollOver){
root.stop();
}

but doesnt work.

Any ideas?
Cheers

To stop the main timeline playing from a button in any movie clip you can use,

code:

---

on (rollOver) {

    _root.stop();

}

---

attached to the button.

cool, nice one!
