Doing something when a movie clip has fully played out

[Celor]

Hey all,

So i have a problem. Sort of.

I have a button, when its clicked a movieclip plays which fades the background adds some text to the stage above the main background, and disables the button to do all that (because when the button is hovered over a picture displays and goes over the movie)

Anyway i was wondering if there was anyway to check if a movie clip has fully played out. So when it reaches its final frame (and the background in my case is fully visible again) the button that was disabled is re-enabled again.

Hope this makes sense

EDIT: I'm using ActionScript 2.0 - I was thinking of maybe using a loop and an if statement? But i'm quite new to AS and not sure on the syntax.

on the last frame of the movieclip add the this code:

 this.gotoAndPlay(1);

hi again
you can experiment with:

buttonname.enabled = true;
buttonname.enabled = false;

depeding where you want them you should add

_root. to refer to somethign in the main timeline
_parent. to refer to something in the previoustimeline of the object..

example:
button.button2.button3

_root. would be button
_parent. would be button2.

Thanks again Steve you're a life saver

put _root.button.enabled = true;

on the final frame of my movieclip

@The FlashMaster - I tried your answer but it just made my movieclip loop - thanks anyway :-)
