Loading multiple movies in sequence

Question

I'm trying to make multiple movies show through a main file
in sequence (slide0.swf, slide1.swf, slide2.swf etc etc).
I've been using some fla document that was sent to me to do
such a thing but somehow I can't get things to work exactly as
intended.
My main file/movie uses these pieces of actionscript to do
the loading of the sequential files/movies
(see attached code)
Now if I do not add anything to my other clips, the main file
just keeps looping the first one over and over rather than going up
through them all sequentialy. So I tried adding this in the last
frame of each of the movies/clips to be displayed
(Last Frame)
_root.addIDX();
The problem I now have is that although now the movies are
playing one after the other sequentialy I still get a small amount
of repeat (fraction of a second) of the movie that just played
before the newly loaded one displays.
Is there a way that I can make this transition work smoothly
rather than have a jerky moment of flashback before each new movie
in the sequence starts playing?
Thanks

It looks like you are loading 2 clips so that when one is
finished the next one will play without delay and then it loads the
next in the series beneath it.
The flash that I am seeing is from the one that is hidden.
Before it begins to play, the next movie is loaded and you see it,
then they play in the correct order.
Try placing the code you have in the onLoadComplete event
into the onLoadInit event. Like this:
listen.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {
mc.play();
_root.myInterval=setInterval(doInterval,delay);
loadbtm.loadClip(list[(IDX+1)%numImages],_root.btm);
And comment out the following:
//listen.onLoadComplete = function(mc:MovieClip) {
// loadbtm.loadClip(list[(IDX+1)%numImages],_root.btm);
The onLoadComplete event gets called first and starts loading
your next slide before the onLoadInit event gets called. This small
delay maybe enough to be causing the flash you are seeing.
