Make clip play when hitting button 1

[Firehawk734]

Hey gang...

I have a list of buttons, taht I when I roll over a button, i want a clip to play that is somewhere else in the movie. In other words, When any of my buttons R rolled over, I want a movie clip with an animation, thats about 1 second long, to play. Is there a way to do this without having to put the movie clip inside of the button??? For instance,

on (rollover);
goto and play or watever???

I ask because the clip is pretty far away from the button, and even though I suppose I could add the clip into the button, I guess I am wondering if theres another way to do it.

The movie clip has to be present (it can be stopped on a blank keyframe) in the same frame as the button for it to work!

on (press){
_root.mc_instance's_name.play();
}

Otherwise your button has to send the main movie to the frame where the movie clip is present.

Regards,
