I'm importing 1 movie into another movie. Movie-A has a stop() function in the
last frame. It works fine on it's own; however, when I import it into Movie-B,
it will not heed the stop() command and keeps cycling through.

How do I get this movie to acknowledge the stop() command?

You can see an example at:

I'm sure this is a basic issue that a newbie isn't familiar with. Thanks for
your help.

Flash is a lousy SWF file imported .. all script is stripped when you
import.

Instead, use loadMovie to load one movie into another when it plays.

Wow, that's frustrating.

I'm not terribly familiar with the "loadMovie" command. Does anyone have an example? Or could you take my files and use the command in there?

Start with the help for loadMovie in Flash. Then try googling or looking at
sites like actionscript.org etc
