PlayStopped message

[Ken Ray]

Jez,

One quick way is to set a global variable before you load a new file, as in:

global gLoadingMovie

on loadMovie pMoviePath
  put true into gLoadingMovie
  set the fileName of player 1 to pMoviePath
  put false into gLoadingMovie
end loadMovie

on playStopped
  if not(gLoadingMovie) then
    -- queue up your next movie
  end if
end playStopped

Hope this helps,
