Situation: Movies which have different dimensions (eg 800x360px) need to play consecutively and automatically without having to manually open and quit and open flash players in the desktop. Plan A : Any suggestions on how to do this consecutively-play-external-movies-automatically thingy? OR Plan B: Help me resolve the ff issues. Issues: While working on this, I had this question: how do I access the \_currentframe of a movie that was loaded through loadMovie(“externalmovie”,“targetMC”); and not by the levels ?? I HAD to load them via a TargetMC instead of using levels because I also need to SCALE them (thus, had to access MC.\_xscale and \_yscale) respectively, for a properly fullscreened view. I thought of accessing \_currentframe and \_totalframes so I would know if the loaded movie currently playing is already done to make way for the next movie to load and for the former to unload. Any Suggestions? [COLOR=red]I would really appreciate your help. Sorry for the dumb questions from a dumb newbie .[/COLOR] Thanks very much po. ---

1. Preloader? If it’s loaded, play! 2. Preloader? If it’s fully loaded, you can get the \_currentframe, otherwise you can’t. ---

No it’s not a preloader. they are external movies loaded through a target mc
