it would be better to use enterFrame instead of keyframe actions

Makes it more convenient

[AS]var loops = 3, count;  
myMovieClip.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (this.\_currentframe == this.\_totalframes && ++count == loops) {  
myOtherMovieClip.play();  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
};[/AS]  
Or something along those lines… =)
