Please help with the following scenario.

I’m trying to load another .swf file when the 1st .swf file is done playing.

file\_master.swf is the file that calles the External .swf file. file\_2.swf contains: a .mp3 file that is has was dragged directly onto the stage from the library. When file\_2.swf is exported the .mp3 file file plays one time and stops – this is exactly what I want.

Now I’m loading the resulting file\_2.swf from file\_master using the loadmovie command. This works great – no problems. I load the .swf into an empty movie symbol and it works perfect.

Here’s where the question comes in.

I need to trigger another .swf file to play once the .mp3 is done playing in the “file2.swf”.

How do I do this? I have tried on unloadmovie and on soundcomplete… to no avail.

thanks,
