Basic Video Manipulation

[Reoterq]

Hello everybody. I'm an old coder, but I just started working with flash a week ago, and need some help getting my brain wrapped around AS. Here's where I am:

Step 1 - I imported a video to the library and drug it to the stage.

Step 2 - Made it a movie clip and moved it with a motion tween, so there was 1 layer on the timeline.

Noticed the movie was looping, so . . .

Step 3 - Added a second layer (Actions), added a keyframe to it, and put stop(); in actions.

I can stop the tween, but can't stop the movie from looping. I'm guessing operator error. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Try targeting the movie-clip in which you put the video and not just putting the stop(); function on the timeline.

Ex.:
yourMC.stop();

Click on your movie-clip and open up the properties box and change the instance name of your movie-clip so you can target it with AS.
