Thanks all for your answers. They were quite helpful. Still i keep having this problem. When i use the member().framecount() i get 627 as result. That is also what the flash memeber reports in its properties. But when i test the Sprite(xx).frame i get 600 as the last frame. Problem is that at 600 the animation is not yet finished and if i skip to the next frame at that point i don't get to see the animation complete, but still i have no way to know when it actually finishes since i'll never get a frame number from the flash sprite above 600. Any ideas why this is happening??
Thanks again

Colisters,

maybe this is a stupid question, but what i need is my director to play a
Flash movie over which i have no control -i recieved it as a flash movie and can't meddle with it- So the question is, i place it on a sprite frame and i want it to play fully before i move to the next frame. With Lingo, how can i
know when it finished playing, becuase ic ould not find any way to do it,
because if i use the percentstreamed property i get to see a few frames
cause the streaming is really quick since it is not over the net, but from the local disk. As for now i use atimer to wait for the appropiate amount of time and then move on, but i think in slower machines i can have a problem
since in that amount of time the animation won't play fully. Any ideas???
Thanks

You can try:

sprite(flashsprite).playing   // true or false
