Flash :: Simple One. This Code Won't End/stop Looping

Code For A Simple Stop/play Button
Hello All,
I've created a product demo in flash and now the client would like to add a "pause" button so the viewer can pause the demo at any point. I am new to ActionScript 3 and really need some help figuring out how to add this functionality. I tried searching the forums but I could not figure it out.

The demo has a voiceover audio track that would need to be paused as well, in case that matters for the AS code.

Many thanks.

Need Simple Code For A Button (go Back 30 Frames And Stop)
http://butlerbuildinganddesign.com/gallery.html

My goal is to get my "back" button to bring viewers back 30 frames in the clips_mc for each hit and STOP. (30 frames is approxwhere each image should be at 100% alpha)

the buttons are in the clips_mc (the clip transitions) which I placed on the stage as one mc. my other buttons work fine.

restart:
Code:

on (release, keyPress "<Up>") {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

play:
Code:

on (release, keyPress "<Right>") {
play();
}

stop:
Code:

on (release, keyPress "<Down>") {
stop();
}

I would attach the fla file if I knew how.
This should be fairly simple, right. I'm very limited in my as. knowledge. But I know I should be able to do this.
Thanx a Mil-

Stop Actionscript Function At A Specific Frame (stop Looping)
I want to stop an effect at a specific frame but I dunno how.
Do I have to put something in the code?
I'm confused.
Or just tell me how to stop it from looping.
Edit:
Is it possible to attach this to a movie clip? Then i can stop it or use onEnterFrame and then escape();
I actually have no idea what I am talking about. /Edit

Here is one of the code I borrowed:

MovieClip.prototype.placeInSpace = function(id) {
var ratio = this.focaldistance / Math.sqrt(this[id].z * this[id].z);
this[id]._x = this[id].x * ratio;
this[id]._y = this[id].y * ratio;
this[id]._xscale = this[id]._yscale = 1000 / this[id].z;
}
MovieClip.prototype.randomPlace = function(id) {
var radius = this.rmin + (this.rmax - this.rmin) * Math.random();
var polar = 2 * Math.PI * Math.random();
this[id].x = radius * Math.cos(polar);
this[id].y = radius * Math.sin(polar);
this[id].z = this.zmin + (this.zmax - this.zmin) * Math.random();
}

Here's the other code cause I can use two in my movie:
function mover() {
// Move the particle over time
this._y += this.speed;
this._yscale += 10;
this.speed++;
if (this._y>500) {
this._y = 0;
this.speed = Math.random()*10;
this._yscale = 100;
}
}
function starField(x, y, n) {
// Generate a starfield of specified dimensions with n stars
for (var i = 0; i<n; i++) {
var star = this.createEmptyMovieClip("star"+i, i);
var dot = star.createEmptyMovieClip("dot", 0);
star._rotation = Math.random()*360;
star._x = x;
star._y = y;
dot.lineStyle(0, 0xFFFFFF, 100);
dot.moveTo(0, 10);
dot.lineTo(0, 15);
dot.onEnterFrame = mover;
dot.speed = Math.random()*10;
}
}
starField(275, 200, 100);

How Can I Stop Flash From Looping And Stop On The Last Frame
I am having a problem with looping. I created a flash file and published it. I only want it to play through once and stop on the last frame. I can't get it to stop, it keeps looping through and playing the movie.

I have tried to add a layer that has some script in it with a start and a last tag on frame 1 and frame 310 there is 315 frames total.

the action script was
<code>
// this was in the first frame
ifFrameLoaded ("last") {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}

//this was in the second frame
gotoAndPlay(1);

//this was in the last frame 315
stop ();
</code>

your help is greatly appreciated.

How Do I Stop It From Looping
how do i stop my movie from looping i want it to display only once

Stop Looping
I know I can put a stop action after a a complete movie but I want to stop each image after it "enters" onto my scene. Every time I put a "stop" in the time line, it stops my whole movie. For instance, I floated in roses and then wanted to add wording and have that float in as well. When I put in a stop action, after the roses, it stops the words from completely entering onto my scene as well as the roses. In other words, where to I put the stop action to stop each individual item that I want to stop at various times rather than stopping my whole movie. Thanks! iAppeal

Ok, im kindof new to fash code, but heres what i want, and whats not happing. I want this varable to play duplicate movie clips one, then stop or go to the next frame. what is happening is it (the duplicate movie clip) just loops over and over and over no matter what frame i go to.

for (i=1;i<60;i++){
duplicateMovieClip(line,"line"+i,i);
r=random(650);
setProperty("line"+i,_y,r);
setProperty("line"+i,_x,i*7);

}

gotoAndStop(2)

Can't Stop Looping
Can anyone suggest a hack to this code that will cause the movie to stop at the end? The Loop param is set to false, but that doesn't stop it. This was output from Techsmith Camtasia; their support has a known issue and their solution is a version upgrade which I would rather not do if I can find some code to end the loop.

(just drag slider to the end and watch the loop kick in)

Stop Swf From Looping. How?
Hi all, I have a problem here with my swf animation looping constantly.

Code:
if(brick.hitTestObject(ball)) {
brickChannel = brickSound.play();
brickDelete.x = brick.x;
brickDelete.y = brick.y;
addChild(brickDelete);
bricks.splice(i,1);
removeChild(brick);
That's the loop where I insert the animation and playing it. brickDelete is the animation using brickDelete.load(url). The animation plays at the right position as I want it, now I just need it to play only once and I'll be happy =(

Can anyone help me out on this?

How To Stop Looping?
A web page I'm working on has a simple swf placed into a template layer that I want to play once and then stop, as it's text content. The swf itself has a stop action on it, but despite this, whenever I test the template movie, the embedded swf loops. I've unchecked every loop playback function I could find, and even tried putting a stop action on the swf layer, all to no avail. Any troubleshooting advice given would be greatly appreciated so I don't pull any more of my hair out.

How Do I Stop Looping?
Hey all users,

hopefully someone is able to help me. I cant seem to get my exported Flash movie to play properly. When clicked on the buttons I have made, should send you to the next scene, but instead of stopping there the movie just rolls ahead in a very quick tempo. Why do you think that is, when I have written "go to and stop"? What am I missing here? Any ideas?
