Cycled ad problems

["PlsFlashMe" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question about the flash ad on this site. Please forgive me if i 
incorrectly explain the question I am asking. Im finding it difficult to 
explain what im trying to ask. 
 FIrst I must explain how this ad is working so the question i am asking will 
make more sense.
 This flash ad on the top that cycles through ads 1-4 
 on frame one is ad #1.. on frame 120 is ad #2 on frame  240 is ad #3 and on 
frame 360 is ad #4. I also have a frame label on each of these 4 ads of 1-4. SO 
frame one also has a frame lable of 1. This is so my buttons on the bottom of 
this ad when rolled over will go to whatever frame label of the ad button that 
is rolled over. 

 This is how i have the buttons set up
 Button one would be;

 on(rollOver){
        gotoAndStop("1");
 }
 on(rollOut){
        gotoAndPlay("1");
 }


 Ok now for the question. What i need is to be able to animate something 
between these frames. The problem I am having is that If i create a movie clip 
the only way I can use it is if i want it to run in a continuous loop. Perfect 
example of this would be ad # 2 in this flash example. the background is a 
movie clip that just repeats. But what if i dont want it to? I cannot do a 
stop() function on the movie clip because this causes my whole time line to 
also stop at the end of playing whatever movie clip that had the stop() 
function in it. 
 I want to be able to make my buttons animate or have an animation in these ads 
that doesn't have to loop. Example of this 
http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/index.jsp when you mouse over a button on their 
flash Ad the button will pop up a preview and then stop. If i were to do this 
it would repeat that pop up animation over and over unless i put the Stop() but 
if i do that it will stop everything and also stop my ad from cycling.  Am I 
making any sense? I don't know if there is a better function i should be 
using... or if I just have this whole thing set up incorrectly in the first 
place. Maybe there is option for call movie clip for given duration of time 
then move on to  another one ? Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I 
can also send a working example if my explanation of this is not very good. 
Thanks to anyone that can help me out.
