FLASH: Newbie question

[Brian]

FYI - I turned down the presentation job I was asking you folks about last

week ('Dilemma'), as the voice in my head that was saying "WALK!" ws just a

bit louder. And I feel better... sort of.


Anyhoo, I'm now going to create a website for the local astronomy club (of

which I am a member) to get my Flash skills up to snuff, and the first of

what will undoubtedly be many questions is:


I have created an Actions layer. I have an animation that runs up to a point

at which I want to have the movie pause? stop? so that can await the user

clicking on whatever buttons I'm going to eventually have there to click

on... in the Actions dialogue box it gives me (besides other choices) STOP

and LOOP - which of these do I want? I'd think LOOP, but it gives me 'Loop

While()' and a CONDITION box to enter into, and I'm not disseminating either

the manual or my Visual QuickStart book well enough to figure out what to do

with all this.


Thanks again in adavnce!
