Hi. How do I stop 1 picture from looping? I used 5 frames to make a picture slowly appear (motion tween, colour alpha from 0% to 100% in 5 frames) and then I want it to stay there for the rest of the animation and I want the rest of the animation (on different layers) to play. When i put “stop();” on a frame where the picture is 100% visible and then test a movie, the animation stops 1 frame before the picture is visible (so it’s lets say 75% visible) and doesn’t proceed to the next layers 😕

How can I make it stop, stay there and proceed to the rest of the layers?  
Thanks.
