PlayStopped called when setting the filename of a player (???)

Ok, here's a strange one. Apparently the playstopped message is sent 
whenever you set the filename of a player to a file. Is it just me or 
does this not make any sense?

Try this:

create a player "test"
create a button with this script:

on mouseup
  answer file "Select a file"
  set the filename of player "test" to it
end mouseup

In the card script put:

on playstopped
  put "I haven't even started"
end playstopped

When you set the player to a filename, the playstopped script executes.

Why??

Regards,
