Perhaps instead of pointing out little parts of the process, it'd be more
helpful to point towards the completely accurate documentation:
Page 190 of the Using Director Shockwave Studio book: topic subtitle (for
those looking at the non-paper version):
Understanding the order of messages in a movie
when a movie starts:
preparemovie
beginsprite
prepareFrame
-playing of sounds, drawing sprites, porforming transitions and palette
effects-
startMovie
When Director plays a frame, events occur in this order:
beginSprite
stepFrame
prepareFrame
-playing of sounds, drawing sprites, porforming transitions and palette
effects-
enterFrame
-timedelays via tempo, idle events, keyboard n mouse-
exitFrame
endSprite
When a movie stops, events occur in this order:
endSprite
stopMovie
And then, if you flip a couple pages to 193: topic subtitle (for those
with the clumsy online version):
Determining when handlers receive a message
This will tell you what order the following scripts receive messages:
Movie Scripts
Attached Behaviors
Frame Scripts
Cast Member Scripts
You'll have to look at that documentation for the correct order.

read the using book, and then read the dictionary again.--
