Control number of loops

I am using a third party software program to write some flash files. The object created allows looping, either true or false.

Is there a way to control the number of times a flash file loops? I want it to run three times and then stop.

I struck me that there may be a timed Java Script option to toggle the loop = from true to false

Does anyone know a way to do this?

I have Flash MX as part of my Macromedia package but I have not yet attempted to write anything from scratch. If there is a way to do this in native flash, please let me know. It may be worthwhile learning it to do this.

Thanks.

Put this on the first frame of your movie:

count ++;

Then put this on the last frame of your movie:

if(count<3){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
