Simple question about loading MCs

Hi

would anyone be helpful and tell me how to make movieclips load automatically one after the other without having to use alot of frames on the main timeline?

I would like to make an action like this: stop(); gotoAndPlay (“mynextmovieclip”) and so on and so forth - but if I do so only a tiny bit of the first movieclip plays (and then the next MC begins to play) because there aren’t enough frames between the two movieclips on the main timeline.

There must be some simpel logic solution to this that everybody exept myself knows about?

Please help me - I have a threatening deadline this evening :wink:
