hello there, i’m new to the boards as well as flash.

i’ve been searching for quite a while but i can’t seem to find an answer to my problem.

i want to loop one animation continuously while only playing another once.  
when i insert “stop();” into the last frame of the animation i want to stop, the other animation stops too.

thanks for putting up with my newbie problems.
