Can't stop movie from looping

This is a discussion on Can't stop movie from looping within the Macromedia Flash forums in Adobe Tools category; I've just made a flash movie and published a swf file. When I load it into my browser, it continuously loops. When I load it onto an html page in Dreamweaver it loops too, even though I unchecked the loop box on import. I'm new to flash, I'm sure this is terribly simple but since the CS4 manuals are not on sale yet, I'm at a loss. thanks for your help...
