Mouse Over on Button is Resetting Parent Movie Clip (going to first frame)

Hello,

 

I have a button that is being animated within a movie clip. I'm using gotoAndPlay() at the last frame of the movie clip to repeatedly loop back to a previous frame. Upon mouse-ing over the button, the movie clip is going back to the beginning and staying there (not playing).

 

This movie clip is nested in a parent timeline, whose frame is calling gotoAndPlay(0) on the child clip.

I can make a pared-down file to share, but I'm hoping someone has some clues before I do that work.

Thank You!!

    Blessedly, my colleague found the issue.

    In the main timeline, the movie clip (which contains the button) was mistakenly marked as a Button object, instead of a Movie Clip.

    I think what might have happened was that I symbol-swapped the initial button for my newer movie clip, and the 'type' must have remained 'Button'.
