Play multiple .SWF in sequence

Question

I have two swf files that I would like to play in sequence in a main  flash file.  The two swf files are partA.swf and partB.swf. I set up two  frames using this actionscript 3 snippet:
Frame 1:
Code:
var partARequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("partA.swf");
var partALoader:Loader = new Loader();
partALoader.load(partARequest);
addChild(partALoader);
Frame 2:
Code:
var partBRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("partB.swf");
var partBLoader:Loader = new Loader();
partBLoader.load(partBRequest);
addChild(partBLoader);
I made sure to set new loaders that  correspond to it's proper swf file. So partA.swf goes with partALoader  and partB.swf goes with partBLoader.
I noticed that individually they work great. If I just set up frame 1 or  frame 2 by themselves, the swf file plays. When placed together,  however, either frame 1 plays without going to frame 2 OR frame 2 plays  by default without playing frame 1 first.
How can I get this to work properly in sequence?
Just to break things down, this is how I would like the set up.
1. Play frame 1 which plays partA.swf,
2. Stop when finished and go to frame 2 which plays partB.swf
3. Stop movie, no need to loop.
4. Would like to have option for adding more swf files
I don't use flash much, so guidance with code is much appreciated. I  would think this is a simple task, but searching for a proper solution  hasn't been successful.
Also just to clarify from previous searches and posts I looked at: I am  not using buttons, and this is using actionscript 3.0 not 2.0, and this  is using only .swf files.
Thanks a bunch

Answer 1

Here's a nice trick that Andrei1 taught me  a week ago or so that should sort out your problem:
On the last frame of partA.swf, you could dispatch an event, like so:
dispatchEvent(new Event("advanceParentTimeline"));
Then, in your parent movie on the frame that partA gets loaded, you can listen for the text, like so:
stage.addEventListener("advanceParentTimeline", onTextRequest, true);
Add the following function to the same frame with the listener mentioned above, and if your parent movie hears that text, send your movie to frame 2, like so:
function onTextRequest(e:Event):void {
     gotoAndStop(2);
Hope that helps,
