Quick question. How do I eliminate any looping from my animations? Is there a way for the animation to stop, and hold its current location without looping over and over?

insert Frame Action stop() at the frame you want it to stop at. If you mean a menu, then stop it there and the buttons will remain available until the viewer decides to press it! neat!
