Hi Loren,
Jim is right. Remove comment from the stop() command on f5 to have
your movie paly entirely start.swf before advancing.
The onEnterFrame function in frame 1provides automatic advancing when
the current "screen" mc is completely played.
As for buttons, 1 of them already work (playme), 1 has a misspelled
instance name ("exit" for "exitme", correct according to the onRelease
function) and the last (pauseme) isn't defined in the onRollOver
position (you might want to swap it with the gel Pause symbol in the
library)

Good luck,

Loren,
The stop() command is commented out on frame 5 ("Start"). That would explain
why the movie blows by that frame. If I am reading it correctly, this is
what is happening: When the movie gets to frame 5, it loads start.swf and
keeps playing until it gets to frame 15, where it loads objectives.swf into
the same movie clip ("screen"), thereby replacing start.swf.
By the same token, it looks as though the stop() command on frame 15
("Objectives") will prevent the movie from progressing to the "Introduction"
frame, and therefore the code to load intro.swf is never reached - unless
you have some code inside objectives.swf that instructs the main timeline to
resume playing when objectives.swf is finished, which of course I can't see.
Regarding your play control buttons, they are not addressing the movie clip
that you are trying to control. You are trying to control start.swf,
objectives.swf, and intro.swf. However, your control buttons are all
addressing _root.screen, which is the container into which you load the
others. To fix this, you could assign an instance name for the loaded movie
clips, and use the same name for each clip, and change the code in the
control buttons to address it. For example, if you assigned them all the
instance name "foo" you could change the code in the playme.onRelease
function to _root.screen.foo.play();

Hi:
I need to load external swfs into a mc. They will play in sequence, as soon
as one ends, the next one will start. When running it blows by the first
external swf (start.swf) and the rest of the external swfs will not continue
to load and play after the objectives.swf. Could someone take a look at my
code and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've created controls that will allow me to play, pause and stop the
external swfs while they're playing (however, these buttons do not seem to
have any effect on the external swf when it is playing). I think it is a
scope issue, but I am not sure.
Also, there's a combo box at the bottom, which allows the user to jump to
any external swf (it actually jumps to certain labels on the main timeline)
at any time. The combo box appears to work OK.
The FLA is located at: www.digitalhorizonstudios.com/exstream/newplayer.fla
By the way, this presentation is a fullscreen .exe file when in use, not a
swf played in an html file.
Thanks SO MUCH for any help on this one.
Please reply to the list AND email me directly if you have a solution.
