How do i stop my flash animation from constantly looping even though i added stop code?

Question

how do i stop my flash animation from constantly looping? I can't seem to find the answer. I put the stop(); code on it's own layer and at the end of the timeline. it still doesn't work when i test it or publish. I'm new to Flash.

if you're publishing for html5, use:
this.stop();
to stop the timeline that contains the code.  if you want to stop other timelines, you must reference them.  eg,
mc1.stop();
mc2.stop();
mc2.mc3.stop();
