Hello,

I’m working on a school project and now I need a little help.  
I put an actionscript to make a “matrix effect” on the timeline, but it won’t stop playing. It’s just repeating over and over again. Even when I’m going to a next frame. Is there a way to stop the script from playing?

This is the code from the “matrix effect”:

for (i=0; i\<=463; i++) {  
\_root.attachMovie(“digit”,“digit”+i,i);  
this[“digit”+i].the\_depth = i;  
}

and the digit movieclip has this code:

//var text\_array:Array = Array(“0”, “1”);  
text\_box.text = text\_array[random(text\_array.length)];

filterArray.push(filter);  
//  
var filter:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter((80-rand\_scale)/15, (80-rand\_scale)/15);  
filterArray.push(filter);

counter = 0;  
}

this.\_y += speed;  
if (this.\_y\>=Stage.height+this.\_height) {  
this.\_y = 0-this.\_height;  
}  
};
