I have combined motion tweening and a programmed class animation in Flash. I want to stop the class when the rest of the animation stops at the last frame. I have stop(); on the last frame, but this only stops the tweened animation. I can stage.removeChild(); and the class disappears. Is there anyway to make the class—or Children—stop and not disappear?

Thanks for any ideas!
