stopping loop in Flash tweening
I'm trying to use Flash MX 2004 and I created a very basic animation of an image moving from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. And it works, but the only problem is that I cannot make the image stop at the bottom right corner. I want the image to go from the top left to the bottom right corner once and then it'll stay down there (not loop).
How can I do this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
Why do I need to add a second layer? I added the stop() in the last frame of the existing layer and it worked. I currently have one layer and a motion guide for that layer.
If I wanted to do this same thing with another image, would I need to repeat the whole thing or should I just add to the existing layer? I tried doing all the steps (adding a 2nd layer, adding keyframe, create motion tween, etc...) but when I try to add another motion guide, that option is not available.
THanks.

Yes you CAN use actions in a layer with content, it's just bad practice. All your actions should be on their own layer.
You can't have two tweens on one layer, at least not if they're going at the same time. You can add a new tween to the layer if the other is finished, but you can't have them running together unless they're on seperate layers.
Also, blue-genie said the one detail I left out, if you put the action in it's own layer, you need to insert a keyframe on that last frame before you add the action.

Do you know any pages that explain how to do something simple like this? I'm a beginner with Flash and the sites I've found that explain something similar tend to make them more complicated. I just want to move two images from one place to the other during different intervals.
Thanks.
Thanks.
If you want tutorials on the VERY basics, you'd probably be best off getting a book. I don't know of alot of beginner tutorials online.
