I previously asked this question on the Flash MX board ... but this board seems more relevant:
The Flash projector appears to launch with the loop function active by default.
Is there some way to have it launch with the loop function off?
I see quite a few references on this board to 3rd party tools/applications - is this the solution?

The only good reasons to pick up a third party tool would be (a) to do something you CAN'T do with Flash alone or (b) to REALLY simplify a job that would be difficult or clumsy to do with Flash alone.
This doesn't qualify because there's a relly simple solution in Flash. Just put a stop() action in the last frame of your movie and it won't loop. You can even give the user the option to "play it again" on that last frame.
Thanks Northcode. I didn't think the solution would be so simple.
I tried putting a stop at the end of my video (imported QT video, made it into its own swf, loaded into mc on main swf file when called) but it loops anyway, only with no sound. How can I make it stop completely when it reaches the end of the video?
If the QT has been imported (converted) to an SWF file then there might still be a frame in the imported movie that tells it to loop. So putting a stop action at the end of the QT movie won't help. Try stopping it a few frames before the end of the movie and see if that helps.
