Just put the Load Movie action in a frame of the previous movie, far enough

into the timeline that it doesn't compete with streaming of the previous

movie.  Make the new movie start with a few blank frames, the last of which

has a Stop action so it pauses.  Then in the button you've been using for

load movie, just have a TellTarget action to make the new movie play.

TellTarget looks like:


On Mouse Release

	Begin TellTarget (target: _level1)

		Play

	End TellTarget

End On
