flash - Actionscript 3.0 navigation menu

Question

I'm making a fairly simple flash website, the main page loads fine and now I am coding for the navigation buttons. The first button(and all will function the same way) is menuBTN I've created a scene specific for its loading animation called "menu". I'm using gotoAndPlay(1, "menu") which loads the scene perfectly but when the animation runs out it jumps back to the "main" scene. I need it to play to the end and the hold until the user clicks another button.

The code I have is:

import flash.ui.Mouse;


menuBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuClick);

function menuClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    gotoAndPlay(1, "menu");

}

I've tried gotoAndStop(40, "menu"); but this loads the "menu" scene at frame 40 with no animation.

Please help and I love you all in advance.

Answer 1

Put a stop(); action in the last frame of the menu animation.
