flash actionscript : Play multiple movies on HTML page

We're creating a Web site where the home page needs to play two different Flash
movies, in different locations, at different times. Here's what we're trying to
do: When someone views the HTML page we want only the first frame of the
"bottom" movie to be displayed, and want the "top" movie to start playing and
stop on its last frame so the last frame remains displayed. When the "top"
movie finishes, we want the "bottom" movie to start playing and continue to
loop. We're having trouble finding the right combination of actionscripts to
make this work. Any ideas on the code or actionscripts that we would use to
make this happen?

Also, we're using Flash 5 to do this.

Thanks.

ACtually in Flash 5 the only way to achieve this is to use javascript. With
newer versions Shared Local connection could make your life somewhat easier.
Here's some link links on Flash JS communication:
