What is the syntax of the action of the first button?  My guess is, it's

something like TellTarget (target=movie clip holding second button)

GoToNextFrame.  Instead, use a frame label in the movie clip as your

target.  Or, put an action in the movie clip, one frame after the button

appears,

to loop back to the button -holding frame.


Remember also: movie clips are re-set every time they are removed from

the timeline.  In order to keep their place, they must remain present in

the timeline, although they can be invisible.  Just don't insert a blank

keyframe in the movie clip's layer -- that will reset it.
