Hi every one Happy New Year.

I need assitance in creating  start button to a small flash movie I created.

I like to put start button on very fist frame of the move

I did incest actionscrip stop() to prevent of it start running on load but now I need a button and scrip to start running.

My skill in action script are limited.

I try create simbol as button or movieclip .

Any way any help would be appreciated

Thanx

Correct answer Ned Murphy

Create a button or moviecli to act as a button and place it on the stage in the first frame.  With the button selected on the stage, assign it an instance name (such as "start_btn", or whatever you prefer) in the Properties panel where it says <Instance Name> .  Then, add the following code in frame 1 where you have the stop() command...

start_btn.onRelease = function(){

     play();

}
