1 web page, 2 flash movies. One plays as soon as the other is done

Hi, I need some advice because I'm not sure how to tackle this. I'm using Flash CS3.

I have a web page that automatically starts a random movie clip of a person saying, "Welcome to our site" As soon as that flash file is done, I want it to trigger a larger movie on the page.

Is that possible?

Is there a term for it so I can Google a tutorial or if someone has done that before, can point me in the right direction?

It seems feasible to a Flash newbie like me to think that as soon as the first movie clip is done, there's something in that code that can trigger another external Flash file.

You want to load a movie into that movie?

No, it's two separate flash files playing two different movies on the same web page. I just want FileB.swf to start when FileA.swf is done.

Maybe a better way to say it is that when FileA.swf is complete, then trigger the play function of FileB.swf

You need to use LocalConnection. Check here, there are examples.

Thanks, I'll look into that and see if it will work out for me
