Stop Animate Graphic Looping during Movie Play

Please help. I am new to animate and working on a school project that requires me to have an imported movie and an animation (as well as a few other features).
I have two different animations set up. One is a logo that fades in from small to large that's set as a graphic symbol and is "classic tweening" The animation takes place during the first 47 frames (2 sec) and the whole animation is set for a total of 5 sec. However, the movie itself is almost 2 minutes long, so every 5 seconds the logo animation loops during "test".
I have it set for "play once" and it still does this. IF I put a stop (); in it, it interferes with a second animation I created that I do want looping during the video.
Any suggestion on how to stop one animation from looping during the video but allow the second one to keep going?

my suggestion works.  my guess is you didn't implement it correctly.

if you still care, attach a screen shot showing the main timeline with the graphic symbol selected and the properties panel and show a screenshot of the graphic symbol's last frame and actions panel.

change your instance to a movieclip and put a stop() on it's last frame.

Thanks for your response, but I already tried that...it still loops. The movie that I have imported is 2 minutes in length. What I have done is extend the animation to be the length of the movie which has created a larger file, but solved the problem. It's not the answer, so if there's a better one i'd love to hear it.
