Method #1: the last frame of each movie has a Load Movie action to load the

next one, either in the same level or a new level. Make sure the movies all

play automatically from frame 1 (that is, no user intervention required)

and that they park themselves in a blank frame at their end.


Method #2: put a controller movie in level0. It would be a series of frame

actions.  Each frame has an action to load a different movie on a higher

level, plus an action to stop.  The end of each movie tells the controller

movie to play (or Go To Next Frame).  This means once you've programmed the

end of each of your students' movies, you can play with the movie order

just by playing with the controller movie.  In fact, your students could do

the programming on their movies and you just make up the controller menu

that determines the order of play.


If the movies aren't too large, you may as well just have them all load

into level1, replacing one another as they go.  Then you don't have to

worry about Unload commands or sending them to empty "park" frames when

they're not playing.
