I have a button that, when clicked, expands a current image. I used Timeline Effects–\> Effects–\> Expand to create this expansion effect for the image. I saved the effect as a Movie, placed the movie into a separate Scene 2. I then had the original button gotoAndStop at (“Scene 2”, 1).

My problem is that when tested, the timeline effect loops and will not stop. Where do I put stop(); in order for the scene to not loop? Do I need to change the Movie itself?
