make the animation into an mc in the main timeline, in the first frame of the mc put stop and in the second put play. and on the last one say GotoAndStop(1) somtin like that and then put an invisible button on the layer above the mc with the actions
On (MouseOver) {
tell target "S" {
play;
}
}

add that but dont copy and paste b/c i just typed that myself so the synatx will not be 100%. also if u dont know what an invisble button is than make a button and have the first 3 frames blank and the last frame of the button "Hit" on the frame put whatever you want and that will be the size of the button. ur welcome

ok this is what you need to do, just like bernie mentioned above.

1)take that animation and make it into a movieclip (f8). Put it on your main timeline.
2)in the instance panel, name it "s"
2)make an invisible button and place it over your movieclip
3)heres the actions you need to place in your movieclips and buttons

//frame 1 of button - your button is telling your animation to play once you press the button.
on (release) {
telltarget ("s"){
gotoAndPlay(1)
}
}

//frame 1 of movieclip "s" - your telling the movie clip to stop until pushed.
stop();

//last frame of movieclip "s' - your telling the movieclip to stop after its done with its animation
stop();

I haven't tested this yet, so give it a whirl and let me know what happens.
