Starting / stopping FLV's with buttons

Question

Basically all I want to do is have a flv play, then stop...2
buttons come up and depending on which you click on, plays the
associated video. Kind of like a choice thing. Video plays ->
make choice 1 or 2, plays video 1 or 2.
Shoved the video in the timeline on the main layer.
Created a new layer. Put the text button on the last frame
that the video plays on.
Opened Actionscript on the keyframe of the button.
Added in
stop();
mybutton.onPress = function() {
gotoAndPlay(710);
710 is the frame on which i had the other video start, on a
seperate layer might I add.
However the result is .... movie plays .... briefly see
button flash....next video plays without me clicking the button :(
How do I go about making this happen?
Thanks,

Answer 1

onPress is not a function in as3. Also, you need to add the
script to a frame on the timeline. you need to add an event
listener to your button that calls upon a function to execute your
code.
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSomething);
function doSomething(e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(710);
};
