I am using Mx. I made a movie clip with basic motions and an extra actions layer with stop() at the last frame. I then imported that movie clip into a new movie of the same size and placed it on the stage with an instance name. The movie clip still loops, though. Am I overlooking something obvious, or is it more involved than that? Thanks to whomever can help me…
