One way to accomplish that would be using [textfile]s:

file no1. contains the file names of the textfiles that itself contains
the files for [pix_texture], sth like:

content of file1:

slow;
faster;
fast;

content of slow:

slow_movie1;
slow_movie2;

...

[read file1(
|
[textfile]
|
[read $1]
|
[textfile]
|
[pix_film]
|
[pix_texture]
|

...

every time, the first [textfile] receives a bang, the next line is
selected, the right outlet of [pix_film] gives a bang when the movie is
finished, use that to bang the _2nd_ textfile, so that after
slow_movie1, slow_movie2 is used. Read the help patches as well.
