playing a movie only once

[technoknow]

I have a parent movie that when it first loads it plays and a child movie (child1) plays inside of it. When I click on a button in the parent movie I need to have the child1 movie play only if it hasn't played before otherwise child2 should run.
Any suggestions?

How can child1 not have played if it automatically plays when the parent movie loads up?

Or do you mean that on a refresh for example, only child2 should play?

I have 2 navigation movies that are parent movies (nav1, nav2)
The first time the parent (nav1) loads the child1 plays (it is the "home" movie). If I go to the next parent (nav2) and then come back to nav1, the child1 (home) shouldn't play.
Hope that is clearer.
Thanks,

Try adding and setting a variable at the end of child1, something like...

_level0.child1_played = true;

And then, on your button's script, add a condition check...

on(release){
    if(_level0.child1_played == false){
        // Code to play child1...
        // And maybe even...
        // _level0.child1_played = true;
        // Just to make sure...
    } else {
        // Code to play child2...
    }
}
