Button Hit Animation Not completing

So when I click on a button I want a little explosion to happen in the button, where it shatters out. I have created the animation, however when i click the button i only see the animation for a second because it gets cut off by the button over. How do i make it so when there is a click, the button hit animation completes before any other button action can take place?

Create the button as a movieclip symbol instead of as a button symbol.  Then you can control its behavior as you like.

You use actionscript to control how the button behaves.  Assign event listeners for the different mouse interactions you wish to respond to and configure the event handler functions of those listeners to do the things you describe... play a sound or show an animation or both.

If you need help figuring out how to use movieclips as buttons you should search Google using terms like "AS3 movieclip buttons tutorial" and similar terms.
