This is probably a (VERY) stupid question...

Is there any way to stop a script?

Lets say I have the following script:

onClipEvent (load) {
this._alpha = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._alpha<95) {
this._alpha += 5;
}
if (this._alpha>95) {
this._alpha = 100;
}
}

The problem with this is that it keeps repeating the enterFrame script... I want it to stop running the script when its done (if you get what I'm saying)

Any ideas or suggestions?

Nope...

That was the first thing I tried... hehehe...

I put a trace in... According to the trace it keeps running...

dynamic event handlers...

myClip._alpha = 0;
myClip.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha<95) {
this._alpha += 5;
} else {
this._alpha = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
of course, use the script in the frame actions, not in the MovieClip actions. ;)
