Can you elaborate on your question? Not that I'll be able to answer, but I'm confused by what you said. I haven't really tried much in the way of timeline stuff in AS3 as I just got Flash CS3 last week. If I read you right, you're saying that I can't add a stop action to the end of an AS3 Flash 9 published SWF. Well........I did, and it worked. I made a little motion tween and put a stop action at the end, and it stopped, as expected. I did the same for the first frame and it didn't move. I must be misunderstanding what you're getting at, but would really like to know if there are any unexpected things to watch out for!
fill me in?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm re-writing a beginning Flash class for designers. I used Movie Clips so that they would just adjust to using movie clips for interactivity as they move on to more complex topics. Graphic symbols vs. Movie Clips would just confuse students and added a layer of confusion that made life harder.

Now in AS 3 I can't add stops to the first frame of the movie clip. No big deal, but then I can't add stops to the last frame of a Movie Clip either. Is the only way to stop a Movie Clip from looping is to check if the last frame been reached and then stop it? This seems like an overwhelming amount of thought for a newbie to grasp. And certainly puts this poor teacher in tears trying to explain a conditional in the second class of Flash.
