No offense, but I beg to differ. Using load movie is a lot smoother than 

going to new HTML pages. The latter require re-establishing contact between 

browser and server, whereas if you use loaded movies they can load in the 

background and, once loaded, can be called up instantly. To load them in 

order, just have each movie call the next once it's done loading (use "if 

frame is loaded" within each new movie as the condition for starting a new 

movie loading). Give each movie a few blank frames, then a stop action in a 

blank frame, so it will load up but won't show. Then use TellTarget to make 

it play when you want.
