Landslide

Hey people - first time posting here. I'm trying to brush up on Flash purely for animation/concept purposes. A question I have related to something I was trying to accomplish earlier today.

I have a project. It contains a movie, that I want to duplicate a total of 5 times (to provide UI background imagery for 5 categories).

However, I want each category-movie to start and finish 20 frames after the previous one. This (would) make all 5 flip up one after the other in sequence. To make these movies not loop, I've put a stop(); action in the last frame of the root movie.

However, the keyframe that runs the stop command appears to be global. If I make Movie-1 stop at frame 120 - then all instances of the movie (2, 3, 4 and 5) ALL stop at frame 120. Regardless of where I have them start.

Anyone know of a way to fix this? I'm kind of at a loss. I hope I explained it well enough, but if not - please ask for clarification.

Thanks.
