stop(); within movieclip doesn't work and all my other code doesn't run

Hey guys,

I've got a movieclip which has the code stop(); written within it, so that it doesn't play unless i interact with it. What happens now is that when i run the swf file, the entire movie keeps looping, and all my other code just doesn't run.

I've named my instances buyButton and so on but yeah, somehow it just ignores all my code and just loops. Help!
