stop() issues

[kurosaki-san]

Ok in the third frame of my move clip i have a second movie clip (mC) with actionscript:

stop()
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (mC._currentframe = frameControl){
play()
}
}

frameControl is the number of frames in mC
basicly the idea is that frame 3 waits until mC is done playing then moves to frame 4 this works fine

The Problem is that I have a stop() in frame 2 and it doesnt work.
i put stops in before frame 3 to test it and they work fine so its something about the code in frame 3 but i cant figure it out!
Help Please!!
