How do I stop my movie from playing?

I have used previous versions of Adobe Flash and now have Professional CS5.5, and I am coming to you with an embarrasingly, ridiculously stupid question that is absolutely stumping me. My movie cannot stop playing, no matter how many stop(); I've embedded in there. I created a layer on top, added the stop(); code at the end of the scene, and the swf ignores it and starts playing the next scene. As an experiment, I put a stop(); on the very first frame of the .fla, but that too is ignored. I have dozens of stop(); action commands riddled throughout the movie, but not a one of them is capable of stopping the exported movie from playing and looping. I assume there must be some simple, easy property or code trick or document preference or something that I've overlooked, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. I thought stop(); was one of the easiest commands of all, but apparently it has stumped me. Help!

This is literally what I have in the first frame of the actions layer of the Main Menu....
stop();
...and when I export into a .swf movie, the movie does not stop.
Update: in case anyone wants to know, all that is on the stage on the first frame are three images, two of which are at the beginning of a motion tween. There are movie clips and buttons elsewhere in the movie, but none exist on the first frame. FYI.

How do you stop a movie from playing past the end?

I uploaded a video to Vimeo I made from various clips and there was about 40 seconds of black after the end. How do you add a marker so it knows where to stop and hopefull return to the beginning. I already put the 'stop' marker in but it plays past it in the elements editor and assume that's what it did in the uploaded video. I believe 'stop' marker is only for DVD play. I have Elements 11.

Expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline. Make sure that the slider is all the way to the right so that you are at maximum expansion. Then, as Hunt suggested, hit the End key and inspect the area where the Timeline Indicator stops. These possible fragments/leftovers present typically as very thin vertical black lines scattered in the tracks. After you delete any such fragments, repeat the process to make sure you have all the fragments.
The major reason for me adding to this thread was to remind you never to put a stop marker at the end of the last item on the Timeline. It is a bad practice to fall into. It is not needed and creates all sorts of problems especially as seen in burn to disc.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Can't. This is done for the individual movie, not by iTunes.
Some have it, most don't.

Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?

How can I stop iCloud music from playing while my iphone is on shuffle?

The hide feature does not stop the songs from playing it only removes them from sight. Or how can I remove songs from my iCloud.

Hello RationalPuppet
If you go to Settings > Music and then toggle off Show All Music that will prevent from seeing your downloaded music. I have also provided other articles for hiding purchases and even deleting purchases from iTunes in the Cloud.

How do I stop icloud music from playing on my iPhone?

Currently I have no music on my iPhone as I primarily use spotify. The only music is from iCloud, some of it I don't even remember downloading in the first place.
How can I stop this from downloading to my iPhone? Also, when I press the pause with my headphones on Spotify my iTunes music plays. Hoping that if I get rid of it that won't happen anymore.
Already checked:

Duplicate Function? How do I stop the pages from playing? Please help.

I'm EXTREMELY new to AS3 and Flash. I'm using Photoshop to design the site, and, although it was working at first, I've got a navbar up top, and after I added the codes, I got a duplicate Function error.
Here is the code:
stop();
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myBtnHandler1);
function myBtnHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 3");
Another problem is that it keeps playing as in, going through the scenes. Is that just a "Test" thing, or is there a way to fix that? Please help me figure out what codes to use for them.

There could be a number of problems with your movie. In the Control menu, there is an option, Loop Playback, that will cause the movie to loop when using Test Movie from the Control Menu. If there is a compiler error, the movie will loop uncontrollably when you Test. Look in the compiler errors window to see if you have any errors.
You may want to consider not using Scenes in your movie. They are a vestige of the earliest versions of Flash. Are you following a tutorial?

How do you stop a video from playing after you use removechild?

I am new to flash and asc3. I am currently developing a website using cs3. I have the main swf that calls in other swfs using the add child.

If you need more details, let me know. I really need to fix this asap. Thanks.

Try adding this to your code:

How can I stop a movie from downloading? There is no place to cancel it. It's been trying to download for 3 days and my iPad says there is not enough storage .

How can I cancel a movie that has been trying to download for. 3 days? When I click on ITunes ,it says I don't have enough space. I tried to buy more and it went to the iCloud. Does anyone know how to cancel that movie?

I'm sure that you know by now but buying iCloud storage didn't do you any good. iCloud storage is for backups, and can't be used for local storage and that is where you needed the storage.
Have you tried deleting content on the iPad so that the download will resume? Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete movies, TV Shows, and apps in there via the Edit button. You can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Delete it now, and download it again later when you need it. Bear in mind that whe. You delete apps, you delete the data in the apps as well.
You might be able to pause the movie download by going to the Downloads tab in iTunes - tap on the movie icon and see if it will pause. Or try swiping across the progress bar to see if you can delete the download.

Why is HDCP stopping my movie from playing?

I watched the first movie no problem through the HDMI inpt but the second time I rented a movie (Spiderman HD) it stopped after a few seconds and gave an error message that my connection wouldn't allow HDCP (copyright protection?). Will changing the input connection resolve this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
this means the equipment or some of it is not HDCP compliant, but this may well be an error. Try restarting the Apple TV and trying again.
