Stupid question no doubt, but I have quite a few movie clips that each last between 200 and 300 frames each. I have them set up on different layers on my stage, but I want them to play through one movie clip, then play the second movie clip, then the third, etc. It’s basically a slideshow of products.
I thought at first the simplest way to do it is to layer the movie clips and allow the 200-300 frames on my stage, but this seems unnecessary and I’m sure there’s a better way!
Thanks!
PS Did I mention how much I LOVE flashden.net?

Hi kellymarie2001;
Most flash developers use AS2 or AS3 to code events. Maybe you should … code everything. A faster solution to your problem might be creating a function to call your second movie Clip in the last frame of the first and another one to call the third in the last frame of the second one.
Does this make sense to you?

Yes – makes perfect sense! The only problem is I haven’t gotten past the first chapter of my new AS2 book. Would it end up being incredibly complicated to write such a code? I’m wondering if there is one out there that already exists!
Thanks!

Here’s a quick idea. Put a:stop();
On the frame that your movie clip is in. And then inside that movie clip, on the very last frame put:
_parent.gotoAndPlay(_parent._currentframe + 1);
That will start the timeline above the movie clip.
Is it the same for every movie clip?
If I place the movie clip in frame one, layer 1 of my stage, then another movie on layer 2, will they play consecutively?
