Movie Clip Navigation

I have five navigation buttons. They are not currently in a movie clip. Each button plays a movie clip with a stop at the end. Assuming I double up on the movie clip animation and move the stop to the middle, can the nave buttons on first click play the corresponding movie, then finish playing the current movie and play the next corresponding movie?

Example:

Button1

Button2

Button3

Click Button1 and mc_1 plays to stop.

Click Button2 or Button3 and mc_1 finishes playing, then mc_2 or mc_3 respectively play to stop.

Can this be done with movie clips or do I have to use external .swf files?

Thanks for any help.

yes, you can do that.

you would have each button assign a variable's value that indicates the movieclip that should play (to the first stop) and play that variable's previous value (to the 2nd stop).
