[COLOR=#333333][FONT=adobe-clean]I was wondering if someone can help me out. The code below demonstrates pulling in multiple .swf from an array and plays each one randomally when the "main .swf re-publishes each time. I cant figure out how to play each .swf in the order that specifies in the array.

example: \*\*I want the main .swf to play ‘clip0’,‘clip1’,‘clip2’ in that specific order not random.

"when I publish out the .swf i want it to play clip0, then if I publish it out again I want it to publish out clip1, etc… in that specific order each time I re publish.\*\*

Can someone assist me.
