making play button to play different clips

Question

how do i make a play button play different movie clips that are placed on to a timeline in actionscript 3?

here is an example of what im doing. so you drag and drop the moive clips on to the timeline, at the bottom which then snaps in to place.

once the timeline has been filed up you press the play button, then it plays all the moive clips in sequence.

what about making a playhead so when it hits the movieclip thats on the timeline it plays the same movieclip in the preview box?

did that last answer resolve your "making play button to play different clips" issue?

if so, mark that answer as correct and start a new thread for new issues.

you assign instance names to each movieclip and button (in the properties panel) and in the actions panel you assign listeners to your buttons that call a listener function that "plays" your movieclip. for example, if you have a button (btn1) and movieclip (mc1), you could use:

btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn1F);

function btn1F(e:MouseEvent):void{

mc1.play();

}
