stop movie clip on stage

Hi,

I'm a beginner at action script and this is my first question to a forum - ever.

I want to bring a MC onto the stage, move it to a certain position and then stop it there.
I can get it on, into the position but I don't know how to stop the clip. I know this has to be very simple, but I just can't work it out. Sorry.

Would anyone be kind enough to give me a clue?

Thanks

Stefan

This is what my script looks like:

stop();
warden_mc.onEnterFrame = function () {
this._x -=10;
if (this._x < 12) {
Stop();

};
};

I made you an fla below demonstrating how to stop a clip. It will begin on the far right side of the stage and stop on the far left. All of the coords can be controlled precisely.
