Creating a play button

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.

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();

That'll stop the movie from repeating...

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!
