need help with a simple task

[peterfconn]

I have an mc with instance name audiomc. I want it to play only once but when accessed again to go to the end and stop. I have a label at the end called "theend".

first try was to put the following above the movieclip:

if(audiomc.playcount == true){
audiomc.gotoAndStop("theend");

}


then on the last frame which is also the one labeled "theend" I put:
stop();
playcount = true;

the idea is that once played through, then "playcount" is true and subsequent plays will just go the last frame and stop. Of course it doesnt work and I am probably do a million things wrong but appreciate help if someone could tell me how to do this.

thanx,

Peter

Add this var to the main timeline:

var plays_count:Number = 0; 

on the last frame of audiomc put this code:

_root.plays_count++; 

than for your if statement put:

if(_root.plays_count > 0){
_root.counter++;
audiomc.gotoAndStop("theend");
}else{
audiomc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
