Hi,

I’m trying to reconstruct [http://www.kswissfreerunning.com/AU/](http://www.kswissfreerunning.com/AU/) with movies of my own.

Basically I have an array that contains the letters the user enters and I have the movie in a separate moviecilps with labels representing the letters.

I have a (what I think) logical set of code here to run through each letter in the user enters:

```auto
for(var k=0; k < letterArray.length; k++){
 movie_mc.gotoAndPlay(letterArray[k]);
  }
    

```

The problem is that it will only play the last letter the user enters. How am I able to make my flash wait till it gets to the end of a section of the movieclip, then play the next one, without it rushing to go straight to the last letter.

My pseudocode looks like this:

For the length of the array  
play the next letter  
\*\*when that letter movie gets to the end  
\*\*play the next letter

Thanks in advance.
