One way to accomplish that would be using [textfile]s: file no1. contains the file names of the textfiles that itself contains the files for [pix_texture], sth like: content of file1: slow; faster; fast; content of slow: slow_movie1; slow_movie2; ... [read file1( | [textfile] | [read $1] | [textfile] | [pix_film] | [pix_texture] | ... every time, the first [textfile] receives a bang, the next line is selected, the right outlet of [pix_film] gives a bang when the movie is finished, use that to bang the _2nd_ textfile, so that after slow_movie1, slow_movie2 is used. Read the help patches as well. cu Thomas -- "Prisons are needed only to provide the illusion that courts and police are effective. They're a kind of job insurance."
