In my flash file, I have three buttons. And I need to control three movie clips respectively with each button. However, when I test it, just right after test window has been initialized, all three movie clips playing automatically without me clicking the button. Here is my code:

dropper_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dropper1); 

function dropper1 (event:MouseEvent):void{
    reaction_clip1.play();
}

dropper_button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dropper2); 

function dropper2 (event:MouseEvent):void{
    reaction_clip2.play();
}

dropper_button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dropper3); 

function dropper3 (event:MouseEvent):void{
    reaction_clip3.play();
}

I'm not sure where my code got wrong. Any advice would be great. Thank you!!!

the movieclips must have stop(); on frame 1.. you can do it in your fla or in your code like this in your first lines:

reaction_clip1.stop();
reaction_clip2.stop();
reaction_clip3.stop();

You need to explicitly stop the MovieClips as they will play by default. You can do this by adding a stop() to the first frame of each MovieClip, or you could stop each one in the frame where you set up your listeners:

reaction_clip1.stop();
reaction_clip2.stop();
reaction_clip3.stop();

dropper_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dropper1); 

function dropper1 (event:MouseEvent):void{
    reaction_clip1.play();
}

dropper_button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dropper2); 

function dropper2 (event:MouseEvent):void{
    reaction_clip2.play();
}

dropper_button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dropper3); 

function dropper3 (event:MouseEvent):void{
    reaction_clip3.play();
}
