Cannot stop animaiton in order to put a button

[gt119]

Hi i cannot stop my animaiton in order for me to put a start button to make the animaitoin start when the start button is clicked on. I put the code stop(); into one of the begining frames but it still played . I am using action script 3 on CS4

This is the frames i have and the code i tried to put in 

I also uploaded half of my animation in .fla format but its ziped

your lower image shows the stop() is not attached to any of the frames in the image.

How can i attach it sorry am new at flash

Never mind i posted hte wrongscreen shot heres the one with the code attached to a frame

[kglad]

does your timeline stop on frame 2 when you test (while viewing the "streaming graph")?

[gt119]

it stops for a few seconds and then continues

[kglad]

then there must be code somewhere causing it to continue or you're pressing some keyboard key and making the timeline play.

i do not know baout the code that might cause it to not ot stop but i am not pressing nothing just the enter button thats it

I downloaded your file and ran it, no problem--it stops, doesn't go anywhere.

There isn't any code other than the stop(); command.

I created a new layer for your actions and put this in:

stop();

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, driveOff);

function driveOff(event:MouseEvent):void{
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, driveOff);
    gotoAndPlay(2);
}

works fine...I attched the file.

It worked fine for me...

I created a new layer for your actions and put this there--moving the stop command from where you had it..

stop();

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, driveOff);

function driveOff(event:MouseEvent):void{
     stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, driveOff);
     gotoAndPlay(2);
}
