I am making a flash intro and for some reason I can’t seem to remember how to do this. I have some different motion tweens throught the movie…how do I stop one but allow the others to keep playing?

If I put a “stop” action on the first one it ends up stopping the entire movie…

Did that make any sense? Hopefully someone can help me out.

Thanks

Your tween will have to be inside a movie clip symbol. And on the last frame of the tween there must be a stop() action.

Either that or… if all your tweens are in one timeline, they shouldn’t loop, they should just stop because the timeline will keep going until it hits a stop() action.

This means that your tween should not loop around (unless it is in its own movie clip as mentioned before)
