When nothing is pressed, frames 1-8 repeat over and over

when A is pressed, frames 9-18 are played, then returns to playing 1-8

when B is pressed, frames 19-28 are played, then returns to playing 1-8

when C is pressed, frames 29-38 are played, then returns to playing 1-8


How do i do this with action script?

if simpler, how do i do this with actionscript where its blank until a button is pressed, ignore the 1-8 thing.



ive been trying to use

code:

---

on(release) {    this.gotoAndPlay(9);  }

---

but i can't stop it at the end of the sequence,
i cant get it to goto the begining 8 frame
and i cant get it to just repeat the first 8 frames for a bit whilst not playing the others until told to!




any help is appreciated!
thanks!
