I have created a new symbol (MC). Inside is a 2 frame animation; frame 1 is alpha 0% and frame 2 is alpha100% This would create a flicker effect. At the end of my movie, on a new layer on the last frame i drag this movie clip from the library. I want the mc to loop and everything else to stop. What do i need to do? I have never had this problem before. I just usually add the mc on last frame and add a stop action. Please help =) ---

No that does not work either! I have uploaded part of my site as a separate fla. The top layer contains a movie clip which contains an animation of a plus sign + flickering. Can you take a look please? ---
