I've created an object moving across the screen in Flash MX. I want it to do this only once. The version of Flash I'm using is Flash MX Professional 2004. In older versions you brought up an actions window & chose stop from the various scripts so the movie played once & not repeat itself. Does anyone know where this feature is hidden/buried in Flash MX? I've accessed the Actions-Frame window but I don't see a stop action.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think this might work:
In Actions - Frame, expand "Actions" > "Movie Control"
Selecting the last frame from the timeline, click on "Stop" from the above.
Or, add this ActionScript to the last frame: stop();

Many thanks Waleed,
Actions - Frame, expand "Actions" > "Movie Control wasn’t located exactly where you said it was nor was it worded like that on my version (see attached screen shot below-click for enlargement) but I found it with your help. Thanks for the bit of code as well. The older version of Flash all you did was double click on the last frame in the time line & the frame actions & scripts you might need popped up. With this version you have to hunt around for what you are looking for. I think they call it progress!
