Button With Movie Clips?

I am trying to create a button with movie clips inside it. Currently their is a movie clip for the down frame, but if I don't hold down the mouse, just click the button, it skips over the clip. Is there any way of using action script to make the clip playout before it proceeds to the hit frame? Thankyou.

Create a different movieclip that is not within the button mabey call it buttonView . In the first frame leave it completely blank and put as code stop(); in that frame. Starting in frame two add the movieclip you want to show.

On the button itself put this as code:

on (release){
_root.buttonView.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Hi, this thread has a downloadable example of what your after. It was originally made to demonstrate fakey glow effects but it still does what you seek.
