Yes, that does make sense, and actually I do have that logic in place and it

is working. I used the variable (button) as opposed to XX.  What I'm trying

to do to it now is create some sort of If statement, say, if button 1 has

been pressed and is in the stopped state of that movie, and someone presses

button 1 again, it does not play the ending sequence and replay the entrance

sequence for that button.  I wish there was an easy way to say something in

the MC, IF movie is on current frame X, then ignore on release of button Y.


Could I do that if I made the buttons, a button in a MC, and placed the MC

in the MC? Then tell the MC to .... Hmm.. don't think I can do that either.


I'm gonna go play with this some more.
