Question

if(currentFrame == 120         


        

Answer 1

If you want to do it with actionscript and not add a stop() to the last frame on the timeline manually, then you can use the undocumented addFrameScript() method.

mc.addFrameScript(mc.totalFrames - 1, function():void 
{
    mc.stop();
});

Can't remember the scope of the function, but you can either use mc.stop(), or just stop().

*EDIT - Added -1 to the first parameter of addFrameScript, because it is zero based (so to put a frameScript on frame 10 you would put 9).
