Stop animation looping.

Hi all!
When i push a button, i want my animation to stop looping when it has played 1 time. Then skip to scene 2 (wich will contain the last image of that animation) then from there pressing a button to go back or play another animation. But that would be easy if my animation just stops looping. I think i have unchecked every loop option, This is what i have now and this is my code for scene 1:

Quote:

---

//stops the playhead at Frame 1
stop();

//this script takes the user to scene 2 (zoom in on closset) when zoominclosset_btn is released
zoom1btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndstop ("Scene 2", 1);
unloadMovie ("zoomclosset_in");
};

//function plays zoomclosset_in when zoom1btn instance is released.
zoom1btn.onRelease = function(){
_root.attachMovie("zoomclosset_in", "zoomclosset_in", 1);
};

Scene 2 is empty so the problem shouls lie here i think. So i just want to play that zoomclosset_in animation and after that go to a new scene when a button is pressed.

I hope someone can help me out. thnx!

I'm responding to reopen this discussion. I need to know this, too...

In CS3.

on the actions timeline add a new keyframe at the end of the animation with stop(); in the actionscript window?

my problem is there is no timeline. I am loading an FLV file externally into a movie clip container.
Let me set the stage:

I have a slideshow. At the bottom of the stage is a scrolling array of thumbnails. When you click on one, the larger image (which is loaded externally) appears suddenly in a container in the black vacuum of the center of the stage.

This is where I am at now. It looks cool and kicks butt.

I need to have captions for each clip (as per instructions), and I want them to appear to the left of each image, vertically oriented. Then I had an idea:

Make an animation of a screw covering the text at the beginning and winding down to the bottom to reveal the text. I made the animation with Maya, which sucks compared to MAX, and made it into an FLV file.

Each time you click a thumbnail, the image loads AND I WANT the screw animation to play in a new container I made over the text (don't worry about the revealing-text part, yet. I was able to do this.

BUT IT WON"T STOP LOOPING.

Any help?

here are the [modified] files if you are willing to figure it out for me.

im not that smart unfortunatly :(

That's okay, but someone must be...

I created a related thread in the Actionscript section.
