How to stop as files from running until a certain frame

Question

Hi all,
I have a simple flash game with two frames at the moment.
Most of the stuff that happens is in as files linked to
different movie clips.
I orignially only had one frame my background frame and when
testing I just press ctl+enter and bamm away it goes the
actionscript runs as soon as the movie/game starts and ergo the
game plays.
My problem is this, I now want to have a start/home frame at
the beginning (of course) which has the start game button on which
when clicked THEN starts the game.
Currently the game starts in the first frame along with the
start button :(
How do I stop the game running straight away and my first
frame only contains the start button, which when clicked then goes
to the 2nd frame and starts the game?
Reagrds,
Red.

A friend resolved the issue for me;
By renaming the main contrustor and calling this in the start
button Example action script applied to the button:
START OF ACTION SCRIPT
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
startBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startClick);
function startClick(event:MouseEvent):void
trace ("Button clicked");
gotoAndStop(2);
gameGo();
/*gameGo() is the renamed main document class, renaming it
prevents it from been run instanly
and it is called from the button*/
END OF ACTION SCRIPT
