stopping layer but continueing another

[knight one]

ok if i spelled it wrong just leave it alone, i'm sure most of you are smart enought o figure out what i'm trying to say. but anyway i have this situation that i want a certain layer to continue playing but i would like this other layer in the same scene to stop. basically all i want is for the one to play through once and stop but let the movie loop in that scene. i looked all through action scripts and junk...but those damn things are just not....right.=P
anyway any help is appreciated,

peace.

you can't target a specific layer to stop playing. you can stop the movie clips on that layer from playing:

yourMC.stop()

or you can put stop() on a keyframe and keep playing whatever you want to play with:

yourMC.play()

i hope that helps...

loading the layers on diffrent levels might work?

_level0.stop()

mr solo is right. you can't stop a layer, only timelines. Thats why you couldn't find a script for it. The easiest fix would be to take everything on the layer you wan to stop and place it all in a movieclip. Then place a stop(); action at the end of its timeline. When your done place this new movie back on it original layer.
hope this helps
