on mouseout event of button

[aartikaul]

hello,
I have a button in flash i want on mouseout event of that button.If i use on rollout event then both on rollover and on rollout event work simultaneously.I don't want that.

I can't also use on, over, down properties of button as i want to run an animation on mouseover event of the button.

Hope u will be able to help.

thanks
aarti

Why not just put the mc in the OVER state(in that keyframe only) of the button and all the rest of the button can stay the same. It will only play then when it is moused over?

aarti,

one more way i can think of doing it is, have the movie clip an instance and play it from the button. you can either do it by tellTarget or by just assigning the movie instance. This way you might be able to stop the movie on a particular frame and the next time you roll over the button the movie could start from there. instead of obvious loops.

jaffasoft's suggestion is absolutely valid..just how much detail you wanna add!! ure choice
