Looping a Movieclip with a button.

[MattH1121]

Ok, so basically I have a movieclip of a box fading in and out. I gave it an instance name of 'MC.' The first frame of that animation has a stop (); applied to it.

I then created a button with an instance name of 'startbutton.' Both were placed on the stage, and my AS looks like this:

startbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER , startMovie);
startbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, stopMovie);

function startMovie(e:MouseEvent)
{
MC.play();

}

function stopMovie(e:MouseEvent)
{
MC.stop();
}

This works in that when I move my mouse over the button, the movieclip plays, but how do I get the movieclip to loop continuously while my mouse is over the button?

Move the stop() out of the looping clip and add it to the parent (probably the main timeline?) as MC.stop() so it doesn't get re-executed every time you hit frame 1.

Thanks, that was simple enough.
