I am working on a little animation. I am a flash newbie. I have 5 mc’s stored in my library that are also executing motion tweens on my stage. They are all exported for action script in the properties panel with the same name as there instance name on the stage. At the last frame of the tweens i want to stop all the MovieClips but one.

I am sorry if i am not wording my question well. Here is the as i’m trying:

logo\_mc.stop();  
rider\_mc.stop();  
CommonBack\_mc.stop();  
Headlines\_mc.stop();

But they are not stopping. If i just use a general stop(); they all stop, but I want sky\_mc to continue looping. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
