Wow, that IS cheap and nasty! ;) Just wanted to point out that if you
intend to use the external swfs in any other project, this is a bad way to
go, since the _parent.play() will cause the parent movie to play regardless
of what the parent movie is.
A more future-proof approach would be to call a custom function, which would
be defined in your parent movie. So, you would say
_parent.myPlayFunction(); instead of _parent.play();. In the parent movie,
define the function like this:
function myPlayFunction(){
this.play();
}
This way, if another movie loads your external swfs, it will not be affected
unless it defines myPlayFunction. Also, this approach allows you to do more
than one thing when the swf stops playing.
function myPlayFunction(){
this.play();
this.doSomethingElse();
}

HI Loren,
You can do it the cheap and nasty way, which I like to employ as often as
possible :)
Simpy put a stop(); frame on the frame on the main timeline where the swf is
loaded, and at the end of your loaded swf put the action _parent.play();
This means that the main timeline is stopped, whilst your movie loads in and
plays. Then when the loaded swf gets to the end of its timeline, it tells
the main timeline (its parent) to play.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Craig.
