Besides a Control Movie which I think I explained correctly the second

time you could change your movie clip's behaviour to Graphic if you

don't otherwise need to Tell Target it.


To use a MC as an animated graphic; place the MC (or animated graphic on

the main timeline with empty frames following the keyframe. 

If you want to loop 5 times multiple the number of frames in your MC by

5 and subtract one (for the keyframe). This is tyhe number of empty

frames to add to the main timeline to allow an animated graphic to loop

(on the main timeline).


To change a MC's behavior to an animated graphic for looping go to its

Instance Properties (double click it on the stage) and change Behaviour

on the right to Graphic and select Loop.
