Play sequence of movie clips?

flash (macromedia): I *think* what I'm trying to do should be fairly easily, but I've looked in the tutorials and can't find anything that specifically addresses my problem yet.

I have a sequence of movie clips that I want to play one after another. They are each loaded into their own frame in the parent movie (Frames 1-5, in this case). However, Flash skips to whatever the last clip placed was and plays only it. What am I doing wrong? I suspect this is a job for some simple Actionscript, but I'm not sure if I need to look at applying it to the frames or the movie clips themselves.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have been struggling with this all day. I knew it had to be some kind of Actionscript somewhere, but I never would have figured this out on my own. Thanks.

movie clip , 5 frames , each has its movie clip ... correct ?

place stop action on first frame of the main movie stop();
than in last frame of the movie clip on first frame place _parent.gotoAndStop(2);
to move to second frame with second movie clip once its done playing.
In second movie clip last frame _parent.gotoAndStop(3);
and so on ... till last movie clip . if you want to play it again after the last
movie clip is done simply _parent.gotoAndStop(1);

Regards
