Changing Movie Clip States 1

[braves07]

Hi, I'm using Flash 8.

I have 12 movie clips that have 12 inv_btn inside them. The purpose of these buttons are to change a picture inside a movieclip if it is clicked.

I have a movie clip "pictures_mc" that has 12 pictures inside on different frames. On each new frame there is a stop();

I have this code on each of my inv_btn:

on (rollOver) {
	gotoAndPlay("over");

}

on (rollOut) {
	gotoAndPlay("default");

}

on (release) {
	_root.pictures_mc.gotoAndPlay("psl_ext");
}

This changes the picture correctly, however I'm having a slight problem. If I click the button once, it changes the picture correctly. If I click the button 2x it will change to the picture that follows it. If I click the button 3x it changes back to the correct picture.

Does anyone know how I can prevent it from changes pictures if I click multiple times? I would prefer to just disable the button when the picture is showing, but I don't know how to check if that picture is showing when all the pictures are in the same movie clip.

Thanks,

psl_ext" is the frame label inside the pictures_mc. I have 12 frame labels.

Why not gotoAndStop rather than gotoAndplay then?

on (release) {
_root.pictures_mc.gotoAndStop("psl_ext");
}

LOL, that was easy enough. I just assumed it didn't make a difference since there was a stop(); on each frame, but when I changed it to gotoAndStop it works perfect. Thanks for your help oldnewbie.
