mask in mc wont stop?

[silverswim]

Hi .,
Can anyone see why this just lets the mask keep masking and unmasking?
springMask1 is an instance of a tween , which is a mc, which is a mask. It has a stop(); at the end.
spring1 is the mc that uses the mask mc.
When I test spring1, it just goes through the mask once.
But when I put the spring mc onto the root timeline , the mask mc wont stop tweening. (the tween is 7 frames long.
This is what I used:

_root.spring1.springMask1.gotoAndStop(7);

hopefully; thanks.

It is pretty hard to tell by your post. We don't know how you are calling _root.spring1.springMask1.gotoAndStop(7);
or when.

If you could post an fla somewhere, one of us could likely help you out.
