How about putting a stop action in the last frame of the movie clip.

If the MC is in the button it would probably be better to have the MC

separate and control it from the button instance(s).

No that won't work. If a button is over another button only the top one

will respond. You can have 2 or more instances of the same button and

each can have different Instance Properties.
