Movie clip replay

[lupusk9]

I know how to replay the whole entire movie over after it finishes playing by pausing...but how do i restart a movie clip only...i tried the code for what i use for the whole movie but it restarts the movie instead of just the movie clip....?

OR if there is a way to replay the movie clip WITHOUT clearing the feild...like it plays then it starts replaying again while the other finishes?...wait i think i know of a way....might be sloppy though....still someone help?


can anyone help me out here?


thanks

Movie Clips automatically loop themselves infinitely unless you tell them to stop(); or tell it to do something else.

Name the instance where the clip appears in the timeline, i.e. subclip_mc, then put this in the main timeline

_root.subclip_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);

if you want a button to control the submovie put this code on the button:
on (click) {
_root.subclip_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
