I am running a flurry effect and this portion of the script is the one I am having issues with. I would like the script to stop after it cycles through the first time. This is the original portion of it

onClipEvent(load)  
{  
i = 1;  
max = 200;  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame)  
{  
if (i\<=max) {  
\_parent.point.duplicateMovieClip(“point”+i, i);  
i++;  
}  
else \_parent.play();  
}
