Re: FLASH: looping a movie frame?

Hi John,  I have tried to follow this advise, but I am still confused. I 

looked in vain for a Control Movie Clip command.  

To refresh, what I am trying to do is to get a movie clip to loop 3 or 4 

times. It has been a few weeks and I am finally getting back to it. The 

movie clip does a rotation.  

Can you explain to me how this is done, and then am I tell targeting the 

frame in the lower layer where the MC is?
