    Please help me, I can't stop my movie from looping.

    I can stop it when I preview it, but when testing it in my browser I can't find how to display it only once.

    Thanks Robert

    At the nd of your movie.
    Right click on the last frame you wish to show, in the scene timeline
    Select stop

    Then you may have a cached swf
    In order to save on downloading the same content the cache saves the file and returns to the file in your temporary internet files as opposed to looking for the newer version.
    Cleaning out the temp internet files will eliminate the problem.

    If you clean the temp folder via Tools internet options and delete the files swf's remain.
    You can verify this by going to Windows/temp internet files

    Try renaming the swf
    If all else fails post the swi.

    Have had the same problem with Swish. Look at the HTML code for the following text (or add if it's not already there):

    <param name="LOOP" value="false">

    Setting the value="false" (assuming that it is currently true) should resolve your problem.

    You can also try simply
    1) putting a Stop in the last frame as Frets says.
    2) go to the menu Panels>Export> and untick loop.
