  3. function stageClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
  4. 	stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stageClicked);
  5. 	clip1.play();
  6. }
  7.  
  8. clip1.addEventListener("done", clip1Done);
  9.  
  10. function clip1Done(event:Event):void {
  11. 	clip2.play();
  12. }
  13.  
  14. clip2.addEventListener("done", clip2Done);

  16. function clip2Done(event:Event):void {
  17. 	clip1.gotoAndStop(1);
  18. 	clip2.gotoAndStop(1);
  19. 	stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stageClicked);
  20. }
  21.  
  22.  
  23. // at the end of the timeline of a child movieclip (such as in this example of "clip1" or "clip2" you add this:
  24. stop();
  25. dispatchEvent(new Event("done"));
