Playing External SWF's In Sequence w/out Buttons

[rusty27851]

I have a main timeline with a preloader movie clip, an intro movieclip, then an external SWF is loaded that was created in Viewlet Cam. I can not edit the ActionScript in this file, and I want an outro movie to play when this external SWF is done playing. How would one go about doing that? I've looked for tutorials and posted to other forums, but still don't have a solution.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

hi is your viewlet swf file contained in your main swf becuase if it is you can maybe calculate how many frames your viewlet swf is than creat x amount of blank frames and do an outro to cue in at that point or you can do a keyframe and have it wait with a timer example you have a 4 frame timeline first frame is your preloader second frame is your intro third frame is loaded external swf with an actionscript timer and the fourth frame is your outro. If you post a sample .fla file I can have it done for you

Here's a link to the files. If you'd be so kind as to take a look and help out in any way you can it would be much appreciated. The external viewlet swf is about 1500 frames.

Wow - thanks!

for future reference here is the function that was used:

//goes in first frame
function pause(){
    play();
    clearInterval(timer);
};


//goes in stop frame

stop();
timer = setInterval(pause, 25000);
//where 25000 is 25 seconds or 60000, 1 minute.

hope this helps anyone else that might need to do this too.
