Gday,  
I am trying to build a flash version of my site. This is actually a bit of theory as well… I am still trying to find my footing.

I am trying to give that building impression, shown here ([http://www.ignition-media.net/](http://www.ignition-media.net/)), where when the movie starts playing bits and pieces fly into place to form the design.

Anyway, I assumed the best way to do it would be with a motion tween. The actual tween works fine. My problem is you need to either right click and hit play or it loops (playing around with loop/single frame/play once bit).

I need it to slide in and stay put for the rest of the movie basically. Thats what I can’t figure out.

(btw - the objects sliding in atm are graphics. Should they be movies?)

On the frame that you want the tween to stop, click on that frame, open your actions panel and place a stop action there.

stop();
