stop and play --mouse click

thanks it works

write the following lines of code on frame one of the timeline in actionscript panel:

stop();
_root.yourmovieclip.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndStop(20);
}

that should work if you replace the "yourmovieclip" with the instance name of your movieclip placed in frame one.
as i wrote here i use the gotoAndStop statement because i don't have a stop(); statement on frame 20 and the movie continues to play.
you could place a stop(); statement on frame 20 and use in the actionscript instead of the gotoAndStop(20); the gotoAndPlay(20); statement.

Suit yourself. If your movie finishes on frame 20 i recommend you use the first example i gave you.

Good luck.

no the cursor does not change nothing is happenning. only the movie clip is displayed. I think the stop action is the cause

When you test the movie, what happens? Does the cursor change when you hover over the MovieClip? Does anything happen when you click on the MovieClip?

it is not working still!!!!!

Inside of the MovieClip, create a layer called Actions and a layer called Labels. On frame 1 of the MovieClip, place a stop(); in frame one of the Actions layer. On frame 20 of the MovieClip, label frame 20 as "Start".

Back in the main timeline, you can add the below code (replace "MovieClipInstanceName" with the name of your MovieClip instance.)
