Here is how I determine when a movie completes. The key section is this:
myListener.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace("My video has been viewed");
getURL("javascript:setCookie('mycookienameOK','My Video
Title','365');void(0);");
};
In the above I set a cookie that is good for 365 days if and only if the
movie completes. This does not prevent the user from scrubbing the play head
to the end of the movie if you make the controls available. If the user
cancels before it completes the cookie object does not get set and the video
does not show up in their list of "Viewed Videos". I am not sure how you
would implement this from externally loaded videos but maybe this is a
start.
Good luck!

// Create a NetConnection object
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection
my_nc.connect(null);
// Create a NetStream object and define an onStatus() function
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object):Void {
status_txt.text += "status (" + this.time + " seconds)\n";
status_txt.text += "\t Level: " + infoObject.level + "\n";
status_txt.text += "\t Code: " + infoObject.code + "\n\n";
};
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object
my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
// Set the buffer time
my_ns.setBufferTime(15);
// Begin playing the FLV file
my_ns.play("http://yourpathtoyourvideohere.com/myVideo.swf<http://pilots.flightoptions.com/traininig/be400_EP_Drill/aircraft_fire.swf>

};

Are these timeline based swfs, or single frame, or movieclips within
movieclips? Or won't you know?
You could create an onEnterFrame event that continually checks the swf's
_currentframe compared to _totalframes. When they are equal, it has
reached the end.
If it's a single frame or MovieClips within MovieClips situation, it
becomes more difficult...

Subject: [Flashcoders] How to determine when an externally loaded swf
hasended playing.
I have a situation where I don't have control of the external swf files
that
my prog is using.
I have created a movieClip that uses a movieClipLoader and loads an
external
swf into it, I am trying to detect when the end of that external swf has
been reached.
