Hi Guys,  
I am in a slight twist now. The thing is like this, I am loading some swf files to a movie  
clip called sub\_mc. What i want is when the user clicks on the link “link1 submenu1”, the  
movie introduction.swf is loaded into the movieclip sub\_mc and starts playing. Once this movie finishes playing i want to automatically start loading the second movie into the movieclip and start playing it. So how do i check whether a moviclip has finished playing or not, like this i want the other movies also to be played one by one. So kindly help me with this issue. I have attached a flowchart for this.

Thanks in advance.
