How Do I Get Flash Video Not to Loop Cs4?

Stop video from looping in Adobe Flash.

Adobe Flash CS4 is Adobe's flagship Flash program for creating and editing flash video files. Adobe bought Flash from Macromedia in 2005, but the program still retains most of the features from Macromedia's last release as well as additional new features. Flash CS4 automatically loops animations for the benefit of the user, but sometimes this is more of a hindrance than a help. Unfortunately, Adobe does not provide a way to prevent looping in the program preferences section, but you can still prevent looping on a per animation basis.

Instructions

1. Open Flash CS4.

2. Click on the small rectangle in the timeline that represents the first frame and enter this text into the text window:

3. Click on the last frame of the animation and enter this text in the text window:

   stop();
   MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop(2);
