Should work fine but you need to make sure MC (a) has been present on the

timeline the whole time -- that is, it can be stopped, but the timeline

should not go to a keyframe where MC (a) has ceased to exist, otherwise it

will be reset to frame #1 when you return to a place where MC (a) once

again exists.


TellTarget (target: /a)

	Play

End TellTarget


will do it as a button action.
