InDesign FLA looping content in Flash

Question

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me with this problem. I gotta say I'm a new Flash user.
I created a 3-page file in InDesign CS5. On page 2, I created a graphic with roll over elements. On page 3, a slideshow using the multi-state feature, assigning a button to go to the next state and so on.
When I export this file directly to SWF everything works fine. The problem is when I export it to FLA.
When I open it in Flash, it creates a 3-frame document. I placed a stop command on each frame so that it won't loop. No problem there.
The problem is with the aformentioned elements (the rollovers and the slideshow). They loop and I don't know how to stop them because they don't appear in the timeline.
Remember I'm a newbie so any explanation needs to be dumbed down a bit.
Thanks in advanced.

There are two ways to do it. One is complicated, but easy for anyone to learn. The other requires Javascript, which I know nothing about.
First, you don't want to have the movie played by double-clicking the field. That will cause the focus to stay on the movie which is the line you don't like.
So set the movie to be hidden.
Next, draw a button and set it to be the trigger that plays the movie.
Depending on your layout, you can stop here. The button will play the movie and then when the movie is over focus is gone.
But, if you want a poster of the movie on the page, you can capture a frame and save it as a PDF. Then use the Options of the Button Properties to assign an icon to the button. That will allow you to import the captured frame.
The result will look like you clicked the movie to play it, but it was really a button.
