[F8] Load Sequentially

[YvorL]

I'm making a big flash movie which contains many separate flash files ( like a big puzzle and it's pieces ), but I want to load these files sequentially. So when the first movie has been loaded than it starts loading the second. Here's a piece from the AS:

var arrPaths:Array = new Array();
for (var k:Number=1;k<=9;++k) arrPaths.push(k+".swf");
var arrX:Array = new Array();
var arrY:Array = new Array();
load_btn.onRelease = function () {
for (i=0; i<nSwfCount; i++)
{
crtSwf = mcHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("swfHolder"+i, i);
crtSwf.loadMovie(arrPaths[i]);
crtSwf._x = arrX[i];
crtSwf._y = arrY[i];
}
}
Thank you,
YvorL

ps: I've read this "hope that helps. IF you need to know how to load movies sequentially with the MovieClipLoader.... lexicon has posted some sample scripts that work great!!" from : http://board.flashkit.com/board/hist.../693731-1.html , but I can't find it and don't know if it's helps.

hi YvorL,

Welcome to FlashKit.

This post?

Please, use meaningful titles!

Yes I think this is what madzigian meant , but I don't know how to build in to my code... sorry for the title.

No problem


Here's the idea:
- create a function to load external file i
- when it finishes loading, load file i+1
- if it's the last, we're done

Here's the idea for the code:

code:

---

var i:Number = 1; // initial number

var total:Number = 6; // total of external files

function myLoadFunction(i:Number):Void

{

	var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

	var mcll:Object = new Object(); // listener	

	// finished loading

	mcll.onLoadInit = function()

	{		

		if (i <= total)

		{

			myLoadFunction(++i); // load the next

		}

		else

		{

			// all loaded

		}

	}	

	mcl.addListener(mcll);

	mcl.loadClip(i+".swf", eval("mc"+i));

}

// start loading

myLoadFunction (i);

---

This loads 1.swf, 2.swf, ... inisde mc1, mc2, ...

Okay this is the code, but if I'm using a holder mc , and want to determine the paths whre to load these swf's what should I modify?

Code:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcHolder", 0);
load_btn.swapDepths(mcHolder);
up_btn.swapDepths(mcHolder);
down_btn.swapDepths(mcHolder);
left_btn.swapDepths(mcHolder);
right_btn.swapDepths(mcHolder);
speed=19
this.attachMovie("btnHolder", 1);
var nSwfCount = 9;
var arrPaths:Array = new Array();
for (var k:Number=1;k<=9;++k) arrPaths.push(k+".jpg");
var arrX:Array = new Array(-1754, 0, -1754, 0, -1754, 0, -1754, 0);
var arrY:Array = new Array(-1240, -1240, 0, 0, 1240, 1240, 2480, 2480);
load_btn.onRelease = function () {
for (i=0; i<nSwfCount; i++)
{
crtSwf = mcHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("swfHolder"+i, i);
crtSwf.loadMovie(arrPaths[i]);
crtSwf._x = arrX[i];
crtSwf._y = arrY[i];
}
}
