[F8] possible to play a range of frames then stop?

[reedy2k]

If I have a frame-by-frame animation of say 25 frames, is it possible to have a button play frames 12 to 17 then stop, and another button play frames 3 to 19 then stop, for example.

I have lots of combinations of these to do, the only way I can think of if this isn't possible to do is to have a duplicate animation for every eventuality just using the frames I need and a stop frame, but I would need over 100

Can a range be played and then stop?

Many thanks

this should do it. put this on the button.

on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay(12);
    onEnterFrame = function () {
        myStop = _currentframe;
        if (myStop == 17) {
            stop();
        }
    };
} 

here is the code if the animation is in a movieclip and the button outside the movieclip
mc = instance name of movieclip

on (release) {
    mc.gotoAndPlay(12);
    onEnterFrame = function () {
        myStop = mc._currentframe;
        if (myStop == 17) {
            mc.stop();
        }
    };
} 

hope this helps
