I have a site that uses a cloud moving across the sky effect (Cloud\_mc).  
I’ve used the following code to move the created MC across the screen horizontally to create this moving effect.

Code:  
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
speed = -.4;  
this.\_x += speed;

}

Problem is that once the MC runs out of clouds, the area where the clouds should be appears blank.

I need to be able to do either of the following two tasks:

1. Play the effect for a period of time then auto-repeat the Clouds\_mc

or

1. Play the effect and then redirect to an MC that has non-moving clouds.

Thanks for your comments and assistance!
