play one MC then play another 2

[renartbrazil]

I have 3 MC's in my fla that I would like to play in order. Play one, then play the second then third one. Things like this I should know, but been this tends to happen when I dont play with Flash as often as I wish.

Don't know your actual setup, but assuming all 3 movie clips are on stage, have different instance names, and are all stopped on a first blank keyframe, thus in fact invisible, you could start the first one, with a start button...

on(release){
_root.mc1_instance_name.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Next, on the ending frame of this mc1, add the following...

_root.mc1_instance_name.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.mc2_instance_name.gotoAndPlay(2);

And on the ending frame of mc2...

_root.mc2_instance_name.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.mc3_instance_name.gotoAndPlay(2);

If you ever want to loop back to playing the movies in the same order, just add the following on the ending frame of mc3...

_root.mc3_instance_name.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.mc1_instance_name.gotoAndPlay(2);

Hey worked great. One more question. I have this scene, and i just added a scene called Preloader then another called checks. The one i want to play first is neither of those two, then there is a button that will take me to scene Preloader. How can i get that first scene to play first? No matter what i do the Preloader scene plays first, any suggestions?
