Start and Stop buttons in Actionscript 3, Flash not working!?

[Judd]

I'm having trouble getting my start and stop buttons to work on this flash movie.

buttons are named Start and Stop

code is :


stop();
function playMovie (event:MouseEvent):void
{
play();
}
start.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function stopMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
{
stop();
}
stop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopMovie);





anyone have any ideas? I've seriously been trying to figure this out for over an hour
