Okay so I'm brand new to flash and I have to put togther a presentation by
tomorrow, naturally I put it off till the last minute. I'm sure questions like
this ahve been asked 1000s of times but when I searched I found nothing useful.
So I want it so that the movie won't start until I click a play button. Then
once it ends I want the movie to stop, and not repeat. It seems like the movie
will just repeat itself once it reaches the end. I know this involves action
script and I need to know where to put the script. I'm guessing it's in the
test box that under the action bar thing at the bottom. Btw I'm working with
Flash MX 2004. Thanks for any help.

You're kidding?

sorry if not, but it is hard to belive. If everyting eses is prepared, put the
fla somewhere and I'll do it for you...

and after that you work through all the tutorials afterwards! Promise!

:-)

In the last frame, simply click anywhere in the drawing area (make sure you don't select anything), and put following code in ActionSrcipt tab:
stop();
