Execute code once only in a movie?

[sikth]

I've got a fairly normal flash movie, with a code layer that exists in frame one only. The problem is that everytime my movie loops, the code in this layer is executed. I only want the code to be executed when the flash movie is started, how would I acheive this?

the cheap-o easy method in pseudo-code:

if (!doneThisBefore) {
doneThisBefore=true;
// your code here
}

Depending on your code, you might have to make that variable a global, but then your starting to make a mess. :)
