Hi Beno,
If you're working in Flash, and you have main as your document class, I
don't think you need to add it as a child to the stage. I'm assuming Main
is a separate .as file.

Just remember that addFrameScript is unstable. Look at it wrong and the
player goes into an infinite loop and/or crashes. Try using it in
another framescript, I dare you.
It is safe for use, if you only use it in the constructor.

You could do the stop frame in script.
If(mc._currentfame == 20) {
this.mc.stop();
}
But listen to them about the enterFrame. I learned the hard way too
and what they are telling you is the right way and best way for you.

Bad idea, leftHand is either a MovieClip or a Function, not both at the

Paul,
You are right. I thought we want to stop initially...
In case of simple frame based animations I would add one method to the
Main class, triggered on ENTER_FRAME events, that would be checking
all single animations progress (their currentFrame) and then could
stop() at desired frame.

Latcho you've got it all wrong.
The true power of debugging is posting your code on a mailing list and letting
other people debug your code for you. It's much easier to ask dozens of people
to look at your code than for you to comment out lines of code and write traces
on your own.
Even bet
Do you have stop actions in your mcs?
Beno, please respect the list and spend more time debugging before you
come ask questions. Everyone is happy to help but you need to do your
part. If you follow the debug process I and others have mentioned i
promise you'll be able to solve the problems
Hi Beno,
The power of debugging (or finding a bug) is also the power of using
elimination to isolate a problem.
By re-activating pieces of the code step by step you might hit the
offending code block.
Then come back if you are still stuck.
Best of luck.

So what do you mean by "looping"?
Is there any code in any of these MovieClips that you are instantiating?
Paul
Well, I have run your code (using mock library assets with the same export
names you show) and there was no problem.
I would also point out that you are not calling the greensock code on the
hand assets in the code you provided.
I suspect that there may be some timeline code in the hand asset.
