Hi,

The fla is certainly messy, but this will do what you need.

on frame 2 put this

stop();
clicked = true;
//
main.main.main.onPress = function()
{
    if (clicked)
    {
        this.stop();
    }
    else
    {
        this.play();
    }
    clicked = !clicked;
}; 

but before that, you need to give some instance names, so click the blue banner and name it "main" double click it , then click the blue again and call it "main", double click it to open it ,then click the text you can see and call it "main" again.

I really appreciate your help fruitbeard but when I double click the main blue then I Get the blue shape so I can't name it... and anyway if I double click that shape then I see a non-drawing mode shape and no text ??

and if i'm not wrong you can't add instance names for static text and shapes ? right

actually this one wasn't made by me so sorry if it's confusing ...

waiting for reply.

Hi,

Here is the swf zipped up. the fla is too big to attach combined with the swf.

if that is what you want, then you can tidy up your fla, attach it again, then i will fix it for you.

bearing in mind i use cs6.

Thanks it worked, yup this is what I was looking for ... and I'm also on Flash CS6 and no need for the FLA I've already converted the SWF to FLA and it's working fine... I don't know why here on flashkit.com the attachments quota is very very limited so that's why I used one of my own hosting space to upload my FLA and I honestly I didn't know how to tidy up that FLA..

in the end Thanks again mate..
