Hey!

I've just started out designing with flash, took me a while to WANT to do it, but about 4 hours later, and lots of time looking at the "fireflies" I created, I decided I love it. I am needing some help however.
I want to create an effect, such that I have a wire squiggled down the page, and I want to have like blue light sparks flicking down the wire at random.
Now the page is set up with a lil speil on one side, and my buttons below, however when I shape tween the sparks down the wire, when I preview it, it justkinda like flash and then I see the page, and it flicks back to the flash, flicks to the page, etc, etc in a continous loop.
I would really appreciate if someone ahd a link, or could direct me, as to how I would do affects like this, or say if I wanted to like fade in a square and then have a WELCOME banner, and a link, without it flashing and blinking like a fire truck.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

You likely just need a stop() action on the last frame of your movie (otherwise it just goes back to frame 1 and starts all over)
