How do I make buttons that just make a movie carry on?

[Londona_Boy]

I am trying to figure out either how to make a movie end, instead of keep going around, and around again in a loop. Or, I need to know how to get a replay button.

Thanks Please help.

On the last frame of your animation put this as a frame action:

stop();

To make a replay button, add this code to a button on the last frame of your animation:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
//or if frame one has a label use -
_root.gotoAndPlay("frameOneLabel");
}

Good Luck!

How do I add the code to the button??????

I have MX by the way :-)

okay, drag an instance of a button from your library.

Select that instance and open up the Actions window.

If this button is inside of the movieclip you want to replay you can add this code:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

or

on(release){
gotoAndPlay("frameName");
}

If it is the main timeline that you wish to control, add _root in front of the goto statements.

Good Luck!

BTW The help menu in Flash MX has some tutorials that teach you the basics, maybe you want to investigate those.
