Load one swf then load another swf

Question

Hello,
I have created a QT movie which I have then encoded to a FLV and used Dreamweaver CS3 to insert the FLV into a webpage. This has created a SWF. I have then followed a tutorial (this onehttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist_05.html ) and created a playlist calling multiply videos into it.
What I would like to do is play my original movie then it automatically go into the play list. So far it has stumped me. Any help appreciated.
Using Flash CS3 and AS 3.
Thank you

James,
You need to listener for the COMPLETE event on the video player.
Add these functions after the listListener function:
        function completeListener(e:Event):void {
            if(tileList.selectedIndex < tileList.dataProvider.length - 1) {
                playVidAtIndex(tileList.selectedIndex + 1);
            } else {
                playVidAtIndex(0);    //Return to first video
        function playVidAtIndex(newIndex:int):void {
            tileList.selectedIndex = newIndex;
            tileList.scrollToIndex(newIndex);
            tileList.dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE));
Then add this code inside the initMediaPlayer function:
     myVid.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeListener);
The first function checks to see if you at the end of the list, depending on what it finds, it plays a new video. The second function sets the selection in the tileList object then scrolls to make sure that intem is visible. It then dispatches the CHANGE event to let the existing code know that a new video has been selected.
The last bit of code adds a listener to trigger the first function I listed when each video is finished.
Once you've added the code, everything should be peachy. You can comment out the code inside the ELSE statement if you don't want the playlist to loop back to the beginning when it's finished.
