Stopping mc - still not there

1

on actions layer, frame 1 inside my movie clip I have:

counter

on the last frame of an animation layer inside the same mc I have:

if (counter < 4){
counter += 1;
gotoAndPlay(“frmStart”);
}

(and) it is still not stopping as desired…

please- any advice would be helpful

2

if (counter < 4){
counter += 1;
gotoAndPlay(“frmStart”);
this.stop();
}

3

now it only plays once…

?

the only place that I have counter is in frame 1 - do I need to declare this somewhere else?

4

if (counter < 4){
counter += 1;
gotoAndPlay(“frmStart”);
} else {
stop();
}
