Each of your two fireworks movie clips has its own timeline (as do all
movie clips). Double click on each, in turn, to edit the timeline of each
fireworks clip. In each, pick a frame that occurs after the second burst,
then put a stop() action in it.

Just so you know, this isn't necessarily Flash MX-specific (per your
subject line) ... stop() actions go all the way back to the beginning. ;)
Also, I would start naming my symbols. The more you add to your Library,
the more frustrating it will become when you can't tell at a glance what
symbol is what.

I grabbed this flash file, and I wanted to integrate it into a flash file that
I am working on for another project.. basically, my movie plays, and then the
movie above plays, and my movie continues after it has played once... but the
movie above loops.

what actionscript do I need to add to the movie above so that it only plays
once? I tried a couple of stop commands, but nothing I have tried seems to
work. heres a link to what I just started on if you need to see what I mean.. I
havent added anything after the fireworks yet..

to the rest of the movie (not created yet)

thanks

Either duplicate the necessary tweens in your individual movie clip
timelines, then move your stop() action after those, or use a variable to
count the number of loops you wish to display and stop based on that number.
