button and action

[genc27]

hi,
I want my button1 to tell my MC1 to play from FRAME1 to frame10
I want my button2 to tell my MC2 to play from FRAME11 to frame20
I want my button3 to tell my MC3 to play from FRAME21 to frame30
all MCs are on different layers.
and so on...
but the problem is that when I press button1..it plays both MC1 and MC2 and MC3..
How can I avoid it playing other MCs? ıs it possible to make others hiden as it plays a certain MC?
thanks

could you possibly provide the code you are using?

[genc27]

here is my code;
stop();
btn1.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
btn2.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndPlay(11);
}
btn3.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndPlay(21);
}

correct me if I'm wrong but I think you need the instance name of your MC for example it would be MC1.gotoAndPlay(3); does that help at all?

Please have look at my code. Whats wrong with it?
it doesnT work..
I m tring to play each Mc using corresponding button.

but1.onRollOver=function()
{
    _root.bir_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
    }
    but2.onRollOver=function()
{
    _root.iki_mc.gotoAndPlay(10);
    }
    but3.onRollOver=function()
{
    _root.uc_mc.gotoAndPlay(20);
    }

I think you need to go to frame 2, 10, and 20 and put the code stop();
Tell me if that solves your problem.

what you have to stop is the MC1, MC2, MC3 movieclips, not the main timeline.

Give a try to

but1.onRollOver=function() { 
  mcStopAll()
  _root.bir_mc.gotoAndPlay(2); 
} 
but2.onRollOver=function()  { 
  mcStopAll()
  _root.iki_mc.gotoAndPlay(10); 
} 
but3.onRollOver=function()  {
  mcStopAll()
  _root.uc_mc.gotoAndPlay(20); 
} 

function mcStopAll() {
  _root.bir_mc.stop();
  _root.iki_mc.stop();
  _root.uc_mc.stop();
}
