[RESOLVED] Movieclip Button Problems

I have a start button(startbtn) and a restart button(restartbtn) on different layers as shown in the picture. On the finished layer I have a movieclip that I want to loop no matter what(finmc). On the Jumping Man layer, on the first frame I have blinkingmanmc that I want to loop until I click. When I click, I want to have the movieclip on the second frame (jumpingmanmc) play and then go back to blinkingmanmc.
Right now, blinkingmanmc and finmc loop and nothing happens when I click.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. The mouse.show is something interacting with a different scene, so you can ignore it.

The code in first frame.

Code:

---

Mouse.show();
stop();
startbtn.onRelease = playFrame2;
function playFrame2():Void{
        _root.jumpingmanmc.gotoAndPlay(2);
        _root.blinkingmanmc.stop;
        _root.finmc.play;
}

---

The code in second frame.

Code:

---

stop();
Blinkingmanmc.stop();
restartbtn.onRelease = playFrame1;
function playFrame1():Void{
        _root.blinkinggmanmc.gotoAndPlay(1);
        _root.jumpingmanmc.stop;
        _root.finmc.play;
}

I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS6.

Why using two frames? It seems like you you are using two frames so you can switch between the Start & Restart buttons.

Alternatively, you can create two btns on the same frame and switch between them easily using code like the following:

_root.restartbtn._alpha = 0;
_root.restartbtn.enabled = false;
//
_root.startbtn.onPress = function() {
//
_root.blinkingmanmc.stop;
_root.jumpingmanmc.play();
_root.finmc.play;
//
_root.restartbtn._alpha = 100;
_root.restartbtn.enabled = true;
_root.startbtn._alpha = 0;
_root.startbtn.enabled = false;
};
//
_root.restartbtn.onPress = function() {
//
_root.jumpingmanmc.stop();
_root.blinkinggmanmc.play();
_root.jumpingmanmc.stop;
//
_root.startbtn._alpha = 100;
_root.startbtn.enabled = true;
_root.restartbtn._alpha = 0;
_root.restartbtn.enabled = false;
};

Because you are using the function "stop();" the programe won't move from frame1 to frame2. You need to use "_root.gotoAndStop(2);" in the start button, and "_root.gotoAndStop(1);" in the restart button.

Code:

---

Mouse.show();
stop();
startbtn.onRelease = function(){
playFrame2();
}
//
function playFrame2():Void{
//
        _root.gotoAndStop(2);
//
        _root.jumpingmanmc.gotoAndPlay(2);
        _root.blinkingmanmc.stop;
        _root.finmc.play;
}

playFrame1();
}

//
        _root.blinkinggmanmc.gotoAndPlay(1);
        _root.jumpingmanmc.stop;
        _root.finmc.play;
}
