need help with load movie action

[Winker47]

Hi,

I'm using Flash MX and attempting my first try at some ActionScript. I've read some Flash resource books and checked the Internet for an answer and can't find a solution to my problem.

I've got three small swfs that I want to play - one after the other, sort of like looping the swfs. They are all the same size but have different content (tweened mask and a bitmap). I can't figure out how to load the next swf after the current one finishes playing. So far all I've been able to do is have them all playing at the same time - with each one stacked on the other. I want to play each one by itself and then have the next one load. Can someone point me in the right direction?

thanks,
wink

On the last frame of the first one, use the following to load the second one:

stop();
loadMovieNum("yoursecond.swf", 0); Regards,

Oh! And do the same on the second one, calling up your third one. Regards,

Thank you for your help. I'll post later and let you know how I do. Hopefully I'll get it this time ).

It works "old". Thank you very much. Could you help me out with another problem? It's sort of related, I think.

Anyway, now I can't seem to get the looping swfs to display in my browser when I use the "F12, preview in browser" command in Dreamweaver 4. The first swf plays but the other two never show up. However when I use the "Test Movie" command in Flash everything is fine. It all loops like it should. The swfs also loop when I select "Publish Preview > HTML" in Flash.

This may be a Dreamweaver question I guess. But can you help me out? I've got the latest Flash plugin player installed (6.0.47) and am using Internet Explorer 6.026.

tia,

It's all working now. The problem was I had all of the swf files in a subdirectory instead of at the root level with my html pages. After moving the swfs to my root folder, everything is looping and displaying...yahooo )

thank you all again for your help. I really appreciate it.
