Hey there,

I’m wanting to create a movieClip placeholder that loads external SWF’s and once the loaded SWF has finished playing load another SWF randomely? eg: from a selection of external SWF’s? Would an array work best for this? And if so anyone have any ideas, sorry I’m a bit of a nube, so any examples would be most appreciated!

thanks for the help
