How can i stop this array from looping. I just want the images to fade in once then stop after theyre done.

import mx.transitions.Tween;  
import mx.transitions.easing.\*;

var mc\_arr = [num\_mc1,num\_mc2,num\_mc3];  
var counter = 0;

function tweenIn(target\_mc:MovieClip){

```
var image1_a:Tween = new Tween(target_mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 100, 1, true);
image1_a.onMotionFinished = function() {
  counter = (counter &lt; mc_arr.length-1) ? counter+1 : 0;
    tweenIn(mc_arr[counter]);
};

```

}  
tweenIn(mc\_arr[counter]);
