I have a similar question, that may be solved by the same solution, but being extremely new myself, I’m unsure where/how to implement code into the first frame.
I’ve created a 20 second animated opening page that leads to a linked menu page. The swf will be used on a CD, so I need it to play only once. I’ve set each transition to play once, but when I test it in Flash or run directly, it loops.
Does the listed solution apply to my situation as well? If I should use the solution already given here, how do I implement? Do I need to use Windows \> Development Panels \> Actions or Behaviors?
thanks!

if you want it to play just once, you just put a
```auto
stop();
```
on the last frame of your intro
does this help?

Please pardon my ignorance. How do I implement the coding into the final frame? Do I need to use Windows \> Development Panels \> Actions or Behaviors?
thanks for the help

I’m all set on this. I played around with the Action dev panel and found how to implement.
Thanks very much for your help! It’s much appreciated.
