Ok all,

I'm a total newbie, so bear with me.

Okay, here's what i want to do:

One movie i have already created is set to go, but at the end of the movie, i want the very last frame to have actionscript that tells the movie to go away..and have another movie take its place. Is this possible? maybe with like a loadmovie action or something?

The name of my original movie is 'intro'. The name of the incoming movie to take its place is called 'skullair'

Could someone give me the actionscript needed for this last frame in order for this to happen?

Thanx for any help, it wld be much appreciated! :)

just drop this on that last frame:

loadMovieNum("replacementMovie.swf",0);

just make sure all the swf's are in the same folder

is there a quick easy way to see how many total frames are in my movie? (i keep counting them :eek: ..but i know there's got to be an easier way in here somewhere)

thanx again,

i know that, but what if you have like 20 scenes...and you don't wanna go through each scene and go to the end..and then add them all up?

isn't there a way to just see ALL the frames in ALL the scenes somewhere? ..like maybe some profiler dialog box you could bring up in flash...

?? :confused:
