controlling swfs with lingo

[monkeytable]

Hi, I want to play a bunch of swfs in director in a straight forward sequence. However I want each swf to be in a single frame because it will be easier to manage, rather than stretching each swf to its correct length in the timeline (there are a lot of swfs). I am not too familiar with lingo, so could someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you very much

You only need one frame. Just put frame hold Lingo to hold the playhead:

on exitFrame me
_movie.go(_movie.frame)
end exitFrame

Ahh, thanks but that only works if I have one single swf in the timeline. I have more than one. I want it to hold on frame 1 to play the swf there. Which it's doing now but when the swf has played to the end I want it to go to frame 2 and hold to play the next swf, etc etc

on exitFrame me
if sprite(1).frame < sprite(1).member.frameCount then
_movie.go(_movie.frame)
end if
end exitFrame
