I have a series of JPEG’s labeled frame1.jpeg, frame2.jpeg, and so on… I want to play them sequentially as a movie. Earlier, I had success loading a single frame, but now I have trouble loading all the frames one by one.

```php

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("screen", 1);
_root.i = 1;

screen.onEnterFrame = function() {
	loadMovie("frame" + _root.i + ".jpeg", "screen");
	trace(_root.i);
}

```

It only loads the first frame and stops. :h: And I also have a feeling that this won’t work even after I get \_root.i to update on every frame. I tried just brute force and it didn’t work. Nothing was displayed:

```php

// on frame 1
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("screen", 1);

// on frame 2
loadMovie("frame1.jpeg", "screen");

// on frame 3
loadMovie("frame2.jpeg", "screen");

// etc..

```
