Autofollow of movie files in umenu

I'm a newbie to max, and I'm trying to solve a problem that seems pretty straightforward, but I can't find any documentation about it. Basically I want to have the option to play movies from a umenu object, and have the next movie in the list start playing automatically after the first one has finished... I will need to be able to switch this feature on and off.

Thankful for anu help!

give message 'loopreport 1' to jit.qt.movie
it will send a loopnotify message when a movie loops, at that point . use the message to trigger the next one in the ubumenu.
