I have set up an external movie clip to and have it running but it won’t stop. The external swf is a simple slide show and just continues to loop. Here’s the code I’m using to call the external swf. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();

var mclL:Object = new Object();

mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) {  
loader.percent.text = Math.round ((loaded/total) \* 100) + “%”;  
}

mclL. onLoadInit = function() {  
loader.\_visible = false;  
loader.percent.text = “”;  
}

mcl.addListener(mclL);

mcl.loadClip(“intro\_slideShow.swf”,holder);

start1.onRelease = function () {  
loader.\_visible = true;  
mcl.loadClip(“intro\_slideShow.swf”,holder);

}
