I'm glad that I could help. You might want to think about creating two

courses (movies), one with images and one without. If the user doesn't click

on the "skip" button, put a "Continue" button at the end of the bitmap

loading sequence and give it an action to Go To the course with images. For

the course without images you can give the "Skip" button an action to bypass

the loading of the bitmaps and go right to the no-image course using Tell

Target (it would have to be loaded already though). 


Good luck with the project.
