Going to the next frame after a movie play

[vecpix webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi, I'm a newbie.
I'm trying to find out how to set my playback head go to the next sprite or frame after the 10 second movie has ended. My script at the end to stop the playback from going to the next frame before the movie has finished playing is "go to the frame" .
The movie plays, but it stops after the duration of the movie.
I need to know what Lingo script I can write so that the playback head will go to the next frame only after the movie has finished.
Thank you guys.

Hi,

There are actually lots of ways to add this functionality in your Director
movie. The simplest way that you can try out is the Tempo channel. You can
set the properties of the Tempo channel to wait and enter your desired
duration. This is the simplest but it offers you less control. The other way
is to detect the end of your movie through Lingo. You will need to create a
script that will loop into current frame until it detects the end of the
video. You will then navigate to your desired frame. For some sample codes,
