Situation:
Movies which have different dimensions (eg 800x360px) need to play consecutively and automatically without having to manually open and quit and open flash players in the desktop.

Plan A : Any suggestions on how to do this consecutively-play-external-movies-automatically thingy?

OR

Plan B: Help me resolve the ff issues.
Issues:
While working on this, I had this question:
how do I access the _currentframe of a movie that was loaded through loadMovie("externalmovie","targetMC"); and not by the levels ??

I HAD to load them via a TargetMC instead of using levels because I also need to SCALE them (thus, had to access MC._xscale and _yscale) respectively, for a properly fullscreened view.

I thought of accessing _currentframe and _totalframes so I would know if the loaded movie currently playing is already done to make way for the next movie to load and for the former to unload.

Any Suggestions?
I would really appreciate your help. Sorry for the dumb questions from a dumb newbie .
Thanks very much po.

1. Preloader? If it's loaded, play!

2. Preloader? If it's fully loaded, you can get the _currentframe, otherwise you can't.

No it's not a preloader. they are external movies loaded through a target mc
