Hi, i’m a basic Flash MX user and i’ve been trying out the tips from this site. I want to see the tips and tricks i’ve learned from here for some of my works, but in order to do that, I do need to know how to appropriately stop a movie clip after certain number of repeats and make sure the object in the movie clip is in a position I want it to be.

I believe I do have a method to stop a movie clip, but I feel it is inefficient and that there’s a better way to do so.
