how to stop a movieclip from playing?

[Keendev]

hi, I have a movieclip that plays continuesly...
and I have a button to stop the clip but the button is inside the different movieclip...

how do I stop the movieclip playing on its first frame?

location of my clip:
_root.mc_playing ---> this is the clip i want to stop on 1st frme.
and
_root.mc_buttons ---> this is my button controls(inside of this I have a stop btn).

thanks in advance.

Assuming "mc_playing" is the instance name on stage (not just it's Library name) of the playing movie clip, the following on your button...

on(release){
_root.mc_playing.gotoAndStop(1);
}
