Stop child movieclip playing

Question

Hello,Very simple question with a tricky answer I presume....Basically I have a MC with two nested child MC's inside.MainMC > SubMC > SubSubMCWhen I play the MainMC timeline 'MainMC.play()' only its timeline will play.When I play the second childs (SubSubMC) timeline 'MainMC.SubMC.SubSubMC.play()' this will only play SubSubMC timeline, perfect.However when I try to play the first child (SubMC) 'MainMC.SubMC.play()' this will play its timeline AND the second childs timeline (SubSubMC).How could I stop this from happening? I have thought about tracking the frame number of the first child then stopping this timeline when reaching the end but I cant seem to get this working. Perhaps there is an easier method?Thanks for the help!

Does the sub-subclip exist along the entire timeline of the subclip? If it doesn't, it will get reinitialized and start playing when the subclip loops.

If they are two separate instances, each instance would require a play() command, if stopped. Are the two instance timelines stopped, initially? Because they will automatically play, otherwise.
