flash event listener for movieclip end?

Question

Could anyone advise the best way to trigger a functiont when a movieclip animation finishes? I figure an eventlistener could handle this, but not sure the best way to go abo

It's been awhile since I played with flash. I mostly do flex now, but this should work.
Using the enterFrame Event would be a huge waste of resources, and creating a custom event class is not nessesary. On the last frame put this

dispatchEvent(new Event("INSERTSTUPIDEVENTNAMEHERE"));

And in your code on your "root"

movieInstanceName.addEventListener( "INSERTSTUPIDEVENTNAMEHERE", someCallBackFunction );

function someCallBackFunction ( e:Event ):void{
  trace( "Last frame hit");
}
