Hi Naoki.

You don't need an instance name unless you are using TellTarget.

It should work if you have placed the MC in the over frame.  Is there a

graphic on top of it that's covering it up? You don't ordinarily need any

labels or actions for a MC to loop.  It will loop as long as the mouse is

over the button. Have you tried placing the MC on the main timeline to see

if it plays correctly there? Last thought: double-click the MC in the

button and make sure its behavior is selected as "movie clip."  If it was

not originally created as a MC, this would be the cause of the problem.


These are guesses.  I could more easily find the problem if you would ZIP

the .fla file and post it at a URL so we could download it and check it out.
