playing swf's as movies

[jasek78]

I created 2 flash movies. I would like to have the first movie play, then have the second movie loop. How can I do this?

2 movie clips or 2 .swfs? Regards,

I have 2 .swf files, but I also have the original .fla source files if needed.

Well a normal .swf (if it doesn't have a stop(); action on it) will loop on itself.
So you could put a stop(); action on the last frame of the first movie and at the same time, load the second movie without a stop(); action within itself...

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

The second movie wil replace the first one and should loop. Regards,

well, it almost worked... the second file played, but did not loop. I gotta get going now, so I'm putting it aside until tomorrow.

Thanks for the help so far... and I appreciate the help I will get in the future.

Ok... I got it to work... sort of. It works if I just play it in the flash player, as an exe file, and in Netscape 6.2. The second file won't play in IE 5 for some reason. Any thoughts?
