    Figured it out.

    Thanks for the other responses, but I was trying to keep all my actionscript on the main timeline -- not in the mc's.

    Here's how I did it. You'll need three movie clips with linkage names 'mc_1', 'mc_2', and 'mc_3'.

    Here's the actionscript. Add this to frame 1 of the main timeline.

    var mcArray:Array = new Array( 'mc_1', 'mc_2', 'mc_3' );
    var nIndex:Number = 0;
    function ShowNextClip() {
    var mcClip:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie( mcArray[nIndex], 'showMe', 10 );

    mcClip.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if( mcClip._currentframe == mcClip._totalframes ) {
    _root.ShowNextClip();
    }

    }

    nIndex ++;
    if( nIndex > mcArray.length -1 ) {
    nIndex = 0;
    }
    }

    ShowNextClip();
    stop();
