Hi  
I have this clock which I just want the hand to move only by 180 degrees  
So I have this code like ( not complete code here)

```auto

this.createEmptyMovieClip("myclock", 3);
/*..
...
.. some code here and then
*/

myclock.onEnterFrame = function () {
         myclock.secondsHand._rotation+=1;
         
if( myclock.secondsHand._rotation==180)
{
    trace("Wow");
myclock.stop();
}
}

```

but this is not working

Can someone tell me how I can stop it at 180?  
I do get a trace “Wow” but it keeps on playing  
Thanks
