Telling a movie to play another when finished

[28dead]

Stock.swf movie has 7 different instances in the main timeline

I want a way of tell each one to play another movie (each one different) once they've finished

Really simple isn't it? - Plus where on earth do newbies go to learn this stuff???

[Billy T]

in the last frame of each mc say

_root.mcInstanceName.gotoAndPlay(2);

also put

stop();

if you don't want the one that is currently playing to loop

check out the tutes on this site and the ones in my footer

cheers

sorry i meant mc - stock - has 7 instances, so the same movie repeated 7 times in the main time line, i need code to go in the actions of the movie clip, not in the actual movie clip itself.

Is that hard to understand??

u can try this

at the end of that particular instance write code

_root.mv2.play();


shruti.

on each mc instance on the stage put this actions

onClipEvent(load){
targ="mc2";
}

obviously changing the targ for each one

then in the last frame of the mc say

_root[targ].gotoAndPlay(2);

should work...

Thanks billy t!!!!

I know that works now!!

However, hehe, if those two movies exist in the main time line it works fine but how about if i put them under they're own movie themselves, which parts of your code do i have to change to say, targ is in a movie on the timeline?

Thanks!! this kind of help is great for new bloods!!!

Actually dont worry bout that, i've worked it out!! - as i should have, its easy..!!!

But i have another question!!

I want to say, if mc1 is playing, then mc1 goto and play frame 30 (outro)

then play mc2 (frame2) (intro)

then put the action above in the first frame of the outro instead of the last frame of the mc
