Putting Movie Symbols in Sequence

First, Kirupa.com is the best. I finally found some nice simple tutorials to help me learn flash. Thanks!

I have been building a series of simple animations within flash 8. Now I want to put these animations together in a specific order (1 needs to play completely, then the next, then the next, etc).

I am new to flash and I just cannot figure this out. Do I make a master movie symbol with all the movies in some kind of sequence? do I use action script to start/stop etc?

Please help.
