quick question. how do i make the main timeline of my movie pause to let a movie clip symbol finishes playing, before the main movie clip starts playing again?

i created a movie clip sprite of a running cartoon. I want to ad this MC sprite to my main timeline but unless i give the movie clip as many frames in the main timeline as in the movieclip sprite, it will not finish. And the movieclip sprite i made contains 90 frames and i only want to use 5 frames in the main timeline.

What do i use for something like this? the loader component?
