movie/button

I made a graphic (just text), I then inserted this into the up state of a button. Next i made a movie that blurs my text, I put this into the over state of the button. Now here comes my question, I made a movie of the text exploding, I put this into the down state. It all works, but if you click the button the movie plays but doesn't play all the way through. But if I hold the button down then I can watch it. How do I make it play the whole eploding movie with just one click?

the button is actually functioning correctly...since you placed the movie in the down state....(which only exists as the user holds down on the mouse)...there is only a brief time when this movie will be shown. If you want it to be shown at different times...place the clip in a different mouse state...maybe over or something....hope this helps

Well what if i want the movie to play when i click the button, there has 2 be a way.

Yes there is...there always is...the way I would do it is to separate the movie you want to run from the button itself...this would simplify the process...use action script on the button to control the individual movie instances, this will allow you to use the movieclip timelines at will.... ie...

on(rollover) {
_root.movieclipname.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

gotit?...tryit and let me kno

hopethishelps

I got the blur part working. So i tried putting the button on my layer 1 frame 1. Then i put the movie in frame 2, so how on click do i get it to play the movie when i click. On my button frame i put a stop action, where do i go from there?
