after making my first movie when i looked at it in swf and a browser it keeps looping and playing over and over, how do I get it to stop playing after the first time please?
**Love** this forum soo glad to have found it, I did a search on the forum before posting but I think I might just be a little too new for this.

Welcome to the forums!
To make it stop, go to the last frame in the main timeline and add this actionscript: stop();

to stop a movie at anytime, open the actons panel for that frame by clickin on the frame and pressing F9. Then type in the “Stop Command” which is:
[AS]stop();[/AS]
ps: welcome to the forum
edit\* lol unchew beat me to it
