Im sucking big time… How would I go about making a movie that pulls the external files without the click of a button. So basically when it gets to the middle of the external swf it tells the root to start playing the next external swf while the one on the screen plays out.

I thought it would be something like a variation of this but I think instead of a container I might need to use levels… does flash 2.0 even use levels???
