Question_mouse cursor_click to hide_movieclip will not play after button clicked

Question

See Code Below - I have a simple mouse cursor exercise as part of a bigger project. Before I go forward, I want to know what code I must add / remove to make both movie clips "splash1_mc" and splash3_mc" play, once each button has been clicked. I have only created two buttons for now and having issues with the second button / movie clip action working. The first button works and the movie clip plays, the second button works but the second movie clip will not play at all. I have built it many different ways - different MC's, the same MC, different instance names, this.stop(); at first frame, separate frames on the main timeline - nothing works. This scene will eventually have at least 20 buttons to click using a time/score counter. As mentioned, this is part of a bigger project so want to get this correct before I move forward. Let me know what I can do so each 20 frame movie clip plays after each button clicked. Thanks!

Main Timeline

stop();

stage.addChild(ball1_mc);

ball1_mc.mouseEnabled = false;

ball1_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_CustomMouseCursor_5);

function fl_CustomMouseCursor_5(event:Event)

{

ball1_mc.x = stage.mouseX;

ball1_mc.y = stage.mouseY;

}

Mouse.show(); // this is superfluous unless there's code elsewhere that hid the mouse

splash1_mc.visible = false;

splash3_mc.visible = false;

jelly1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToHide_15);

function fl_ClickToHide_15(event:MouseEvent):void

{

jelly1_mc.visible = false;

splash1_mc.visible = true;

}

jelly2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToHide_14);

function fl_ClickToHide_14(event:MouseEvent):void

{

jelly2_mc.visible = false;

splash3_mc.visible = true;

}

Movie Clip to play twice, then stop (want mc's like this play twice after each button clicked - want at least 20 on main timeline.)

if (!this.looped) this.looped = 1;
if (this.looped++ > 2) this.stop();

place a stop() on their first frame, add play() in your two hide listeners:

jelly1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToHide_15);

function fl_ClickToHide_15(event:MouseEvent):void

{

jelly1_mc.visible = false;

splash1_mc.visible = true;

splash1_mc.play();

}

jelly2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToHide_14);

function fl_ClickToHide_14(event:MouseEvent):void

{

jelly2_mc.visible = false;

splash3_mc.visible = true;

splash3_mc.play();

}
