FLASH MX quick looping question +

If anyone could give me a hand here – teaching myself Flash MX and have a banner which is looping 3 times and then stops on the last frame. I have that working fine, but I have added a “wipe out” at the end and need the movie to stop on frame 164 instead of the last frame now. I can’t for the life of me figure it out. It’s got to be simple, doesn’t it?

Also, for you people that are using Flash MX 2004 – is it worth it to upgrade to that now and learn more of the Actionscript 2.0 or should i just stick and master the program I have now.

Thanks for your help!
