ActionScript 3 - Movie clip is skipping to the end on first play

hey, folks, I'm hoping you can help me out. I want something to slide off the screen when I click on it. I (think I) have it set so that when you click, the button itself disappears, and a movie clip of the object sliding away becomes visible and plays.

Code:

mcslide._visible=false;  

slidebutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Click);
 
function Click(ev:MouseEvent):void
{
mcslide._visible=true,
slidebutton._visible=false);
}

The problem is that the movie clip will either skip right to the end and stop if I have a "stop();" put in at the last frame, or it will skip right to the end on the first play, but then loop correctly after that if there's no "stop();". Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi, within the sliding animation you should put a stop action on the first keyframe and a gotoAndStop(1) on the last. Then change your code to this:

Code:

function Click(ev:MouseEvent):void
   {
      mcslide._visible = true;
      slidebutton._visible = false;
      mcslide.gotoAndPlay(1);
   }
