okay, I am a newb and I am having a huge problem so I figured what better place to start posting here.

So I've got a movie clip that contains 80 frames. I can make it stop by using the stop(); at last frame in the clip and be all dandy. I can make it stop by using

if (spike._currentframe == spike._totalframes) {
spike.stop();
}

I've found a number of ways to make the clip stop playing, but as soon as I insert a blank keyframe, layer, or scene anywhere aside from within the movie clip, the thing just starts blinking on and off.

I've tried for hours to rectify the situation, but no matter what I've done, I can't add anything else to the project without the movie clip going haywire.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
