quicktime importing

I am currently working on a job where I am importing Quicktime movies as part of my AS project. I know I can force a qt to start running from a particular frame by making it invisible until that point, but can I also make it hold at the end, or make it run backwards instead of looping? Do I have any other control of playback apart from start and stop, or should I re-edit the qt before importing it?

You already got it - any editing of video must be done in a separate program prior to importing it into Moho/AS.

Barry, I'm sure you already know, but for the benefit of other readers:

As there seem to be no movie controls for it in AS, to hold the last frame of an imported movie consider making a still image snapshot of the last frame and visibility-switch it with the movie rather than extending the movie itself.

Regards, Myles.

Ah well, I was hoping I'd missed something, but it is as I'd suspected. Maybe in a future release...?
