I have a bunch of external swf files that I’m trying to automatically get played one by one starting in order. From 1 to 16. When I do the loadMovieNum(“myswf.swf”, 1) it automatically starts to 16 cause it’s in a loop.

Is there a way in AS to tell when one of the loaded swfs is finshed playing so i can load another one ?
