Okay, I have a movie with a lot of movie clips that I want to play in a certain order – more specifically when the previous movie clip is finished playing. Is there a practical way to use actionscript to achieve this instead of me adding hundreds of frames to all my movie clips so they they’ll play successively. Is there a whenDone (just made that up haha) function or something? I could try writing my own function, but I’m not that experienced with AS yet. Thanks for the help 🙂
