Question : How to get onEnterFrame trace to appear only once

I'm using the the following ActionScript (AS 2) to make the string "pic 1" appear in my output window:

mcInstance.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
      trace("pic 1");
}

But "pic 1" loops infinitely, line after line. How do I modify my code to make my string print to the output window only once?

Answer : How to get onEnterFrame trace to appear only once

You're telling it to run every time Flash refreshes the frame.  You could always set onEnterFrame to null.  You may need to use "this" instead of mcInstance in the code below, but basically you want to stop it from being called again after the first time.

mcInstance.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
      mcInstance.onEnterFrame = null;
      trace("pic 1");
}
