hi i wish to increase/decrease the speed that the mc plays (frames are inside the mc) but if the mc reaches a certain frame it should stop.

I have the code for stopping-

this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
Cholesterol.play();  
if (Cholesterol.\_currentframe == 10) {  
Cholesterol.stop();  
delete this.onEnterFrame;

here is the code for the speed-

function playMovie(){  
holder\_mc.gotoAndStop(holder\_mc.\_currentframe+1);  
}  
playID=setInterval(playMovie,100)//10 frames per second

but the two peices of code seems to cancel eachother out.  
Thank you for the help
