Increment by frame UNTIL defined point

[flying squirel]

I guess what I'm trying to learn is a function that will go from frame to frame untill it reaches a defined point. something like WHILE i (which is the current frame of some_mc) is less than 10 (or whatever) go to nextframe and when it reaches 10.... do whatever.

You could do something like the following, where the box MC checks it's current frame against the frame number you want it to stop on (20). When it reaches frame 20, the MC stops playing and the onEnterFrame event handler is deleted.

box.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (this._currentframe == 20) {
		this.stop();
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
	}
};
