How to make nested Movie Clip Play Once, then stop?

Hello All,

I've been searching for a simple solution to this question for over a year now. I've seen a few solutions

that do not work, and many questions, that remain unanswered questions.  So I thought I'd get it from the pros. 

I have a nested movie clip (image sequence) that I use the code snippet from Flash CS5 to GoToAndPlay.  The Movie Clip

loops continuously.  How do I get it to play once and stop.  I've tried the snippet for GoToAndStop, I've tried

stop(); in my 'Actions' layer.  I've tried a stop(); in the last frame of my nested sequence.  I've tried a stop at the

end of the function but nothing stops the darn thing. It keeps going and going and going.  Here is my typical code that

loops....

stop();

btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cd_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);

function cd_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void

{

gotoAndPlay(1);

}

btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ef_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);

function ef_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void

{

gotoAndPlay(10);

}

There are two(2) buttons on the page, basically and back and forward button, and the image sequence is nested in a

movie clip in this case at frame (1) and another nested movie clip at frame (10).  How can I make it play once and stop

on the last frame of the nested clip?

Thanks,

Duane
