Seamless animation using a SWF

Question

Hi,
I'm having problem with playing a *.swf file in my animation.  The *.swf file actually contains a video clip of people passing a card to one another. On the main timeline there are 3 nested movieclips, the movieclip on the second frame contains the *.swf file, and using Im using this code to load the SWF file:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("iwill_cards_video.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
MovieClip(root).nextFrame()
The first movieclip plays fine, but then the next two movieclips play at the same time over one another.  I would like for the first movieclip to play, then the second movieclip containing the SWF file, followed by the final movieclip.  I have a "stop" on each of the 3 frames on the main timeline but it doesnt seem to work?
thanks in advance,
Matt

if your loaded swf just plays from frame 1 to its main timeline last frame and that's when you want your loading swf to advance to frame 3, you can use:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new  URLRequest("iwill_cards_video.swf");
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoad);
myLoader.load(url);
function onLoad(e:Event){
MovieClip(myLoader.content).addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkPlay);
function checkPlay(e:Event){
if(e.target.currentFrame==e.target.totalFrames){
e.target.stop();
MovieClip(myLoader.content).removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkPlay);
removeChild(myLoader);
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoad);
myLoader=null;
MovieClip(root).nextFrame()
