Hello all,

I have a simple need on Flash. We have a set of 20 swf files that need to be played one after the other. These swf files are not on a server or an internet location, but available on the local system.

I just need a flash player that can:

1. Read the local file system
2. Load that swf into the main timeline
3. Unload the current swf when its past the last frame and repeat step 1 in a loop

I have lost touch with Flash, can some one guide me on creating this from scratch?

Thanks!  
VJ

Hi,  
I tried a simple way of loadmovie and unloadmovie, but doesn’t seem to work. The main stage loads the first file and loops within in.

I created a main,fla …file1, file 2, file 3…i created swfs for these 3 files and on the end frame of each swf i gave

unloadmovie("file1.swf)  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“file2.swf”, 1)

This option doesn’t do anything, it simply loops the file1.swf over and over again. All i want is a sequence of 20 files to be played one after the other…without a break.

Are all of the files timeline-based animations, or what? Do they have code in them?
