Hi Paul,

Just a thought which may work for you. Create a new movie track, copy all the frames of your first movie and copy into the new one then repeat for the other movie tracks. You will end up with a "master movie" that contains all the original movie frames that can loop round and round. This will become your default movie. I tried this with a small 5 image tour and it worked, but it didn't have maps, so not sure how that would work. When I selected the frames from the movies, TW seemed to lock up and not respond for a while, but after a couple of minutes it copied the frames ok, so if you try this allow time for TW to complete the copy and pasting of the frames.

Hope that workaround helps

I will have to try this for myself, but I think I would ignore the default track that TW produces. Make a new movie track by copying all the frames from the 6 movie tracks and set this single large movie as your default movie. The method I used to copy the frames was to click on frame 1 (in the object list on the right of the stage) hold shift and click on the last frame. Right click to copy. Select the new "master movie" and click in the (blank) object list. Right click or CTRL V to paste in the frames. When this is done, repeat for the next movie. Eventually you will have a single large movie that you can set as default. The other 6 movie tracks I assume will be linked through an action.

To get a smooth transition from the last image back to the first when the tour loops I copy the first frame of the movie and paste it at the very end. This ensures a nice dissolve between the last and first image.

You can use Play Next Tour option under General Tab in publish settings. For each of the 6 tours, enter the URL of the next tour, and the 6 tours will play play in play in loop.

What is required is the option to play next movie track otherwise you "are" duplicating the skin which is trying to be avoided.

I guess it's a case of each movie track requiring it's own map, google map etc but sharing the rest of the skin.

It is a "round about" way of doing things. A simple share skin resources option would be more appropriate I would think.
