I feel Dumb - How to stop a movie clip

Hello folks..never posted here before, so, please be gentle..

I have used Flash CS3 for a while, and just upgraded to CS4...This is where i am either missing something, or just not looking in the right place..

I have a basic stage...4 graphics in the clip ( converted to graphic symbols ), each on their own layer..Each layer is using a motion tween.

What i would like to find out how to do is that when the clip gets to the end, to just stop. At the moment, when i upload the .SWF file to a webpage, its running in a loop, continuous....I used to do this in CS3 by adding a " stop() " command on the last keyframe....How do i now get the movie to stop in CS4?? I am at a lost, even after trawling the internet for hours today...

Hope someone can help..

Niko

Add another layer and select the last frame at that layer and insert a keyframe. In the Actions window put in your stop(); as usual.
