Re: working with movie clips using action script (AS2)

Sounds like you need a listener, but I'm not sure as I've never used XML this way.

If you had a standard flv video to play within flash, you'd have a flv player, in the example below I've given it an instance name of 'flv':

flv.contentPath = "flvs/main.flv";
var listener = new Object();
listener.complete = function(objetEvt) {
flv.contentPath = "flvs/holding.flv";
flv.play();
};
flv.addEventListener("complete",listener);

This plays 'main.flv' until the end then, loads and plays 'holding.flv'.

For you you should be able to remove the actions to load and play holding.flv and replace with _root.nextFrame();
