Yes it is.


For Flash 3 the easiest way I can think of is to create a 2 frame Movie

Clip at the end of the Loop.


Label the first frame of the Loop as  BeginLoop.

In the Movie Clip use the following Frame Actions


   Frame 1  Stop

            Go To Next Frame

            Tell Target          Target:/

               Go To and Play    BeginLoop

            End Tell Target

  Frame 2   Stop


The first time the Movie Clip is encountered (it is in its frame 1) 2

things will happen:

    1) It will return and start playing from the Frame BeginLoop

(replaying the loop segment).

    2) The Movie Clip will move to Frame 2



The second time the Movie Clip is encountered (it is now in frame 2),

there is no Action to return back to BeginLoop so the movie will

continue to the next frame on the main timeline without looping.
