Movie Clip stop playing

[jpkuelho]

ok I animated this movie clip and I want it to play only once so in the last frame of my stage I put a mctext.stop(); action but when I test my movie the movie clip animation loops, any idea?

Do not use "mxtext.stop();" Instead, just use "stop();"

You are confusing Flash by proving a path. Include a path when you wish to control a timeline from another timeline. Your code would work if you included it in a function on a root timeline (assuming mxtext is not the root).

yes mxtext is not the root but it worked as I put a "stop();" on the root
