AS loops MC flash MX or 5

[soccerstar]

Hi, does anyone know how to loop a movie clip 3 times and then go away? The thing is a MC with 17 layers, i want to be able to loop them all 3 times and then go away.

i know the go away part is the stop() ; but i dont know where to put it and i dont know where to put the AS if i can loop this clip.

I would really appriciate your help

///// REPLACE
stop()
///// BY
this.clear()
