You need to put the animation in a movie clip that is independent of the 

button. The first part of the movie clip would have the Grow sequence, 

ending with a Stop action. The second part would have the Shrink sequence, 

ending with a return to frame 1. Frame 1 and the last frame would look 

identical. Frame 1 would have a stop action, too. You would place this 

movie clip on the stage and give it an instance name. You would use 

TellTarget actions with your button to tell the movie clip to Play on 

mouseover (making it proceed from frame 1 to the end of the grow sequence) 

and then to go the the beginning of the shrink sequence (which should be 

labeled) on mouse rollout.
