Playing Quicktime with Multiple Start End Points

Question

Hello
I posted a message a few days which I received help on
regarding starting and ending a Quicktime movie from various points
in the movie. Now I have a new problem which I cannot fix at all..
Here is the problem:
I have a Quicktime movie on stage and 10 various buttons that
contain a generic script which allows input of start and end points
for each button to trigger the movie. Initially just doing this
with one button is successful.
However, multiple buttons all with the same generic code make
the movie freeze up completely. My guess is that they are all
fighting each other for control. Maybe I need something in the code
which allows the button that is being used to play the movie to
keep control.
Here is the code I use for each button, the movie is on frame
15.
property pQT,pStart,pEnd,pFrame, pVolume
on beginSprite me
sprite(me.spriteNum).color=rgb (255,255,255)
cursor 0
if integer(pQT).ilk=#integer then pQT=integer(pQT)
end
on mouseUp me
sound(3).volume=sprite(15).volume
sprite(15).volume=pVolume
sprite(pQT).movieTime=pStart
sprite(pQT).movieRate=1
cursor 0
end
on mouseEnter me
sprite(me.spriteNum).color=rgb (173,24,41)
sprite(me.spriteNum).cursor=280
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(me.spriteNum).color=rgb(255,255,255)
sprite(me.spriteNum).cursor=0
end
on mouseDown me
sprite(me.spriteNum).cursor=290
end
on enterFrame me
if sprite(pQT).movieTime>=pEnd then
sprite(pQT).movieRate=0
end if
end
on getPropertyDescriptionList me
if not the currentSpriteNum then exit
vPDList=[:]
setaProp vPDList, #pQT, [#comment: "Which QT sprite",
#format: #integer, #default: 0]
setaProp vPDList, #pStart, [#comment: "Range start",
#format: #integer, #default: 0]
setaProp vPDList, #pEnd, [#comment: "Range end", #format:
#integer, #default: 0]
setaProp vPDList, #pVolume, [#comment: "Volume", #format:
#integer, #default: 0]
return vPDList
end getPropertyDescriptionList
Any help is much appreciated. (not a lingo expert)

Many thanks Mike
Works fantastically.
I just thought I would post the finished code - well, tweaked
ever so slightly from Mike's orginal for anybody wanting a nice
little behaviour for controlling a Quicktime movie.
(watch out for page breaks etc - should be 68 lines)
property pQT,pStart,pEnd,pFrame,
pVolume,pMyControl,pReturnMarker
on beginSprite me
sprite(me.spriteNum).color=rgb (255,255,255)

if integer(pQT).ilk=#integer then pQT=integer(pQT)
pMyControl=0
end
on mouseUp me
sound(3).volume=sprite(pQT).volume
sprite(pQT).volume=pVolume
sprite(pQT).movieTime=pStart
sprite(pQT).movieRate=1
pMyControl=1
cursor 0
end
on mouseEnter me
