I try to get 5 images loaded on one swf.

downloading the first one works :

FRAME 1 :

// image 1  
cont1 = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“container1”, 501);  
cont1.loadMovie(“1.JPG”, 502);  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
total = cont1.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = cont1.getBytesLoaded();  
percent1 = Math.round(loaded/total\*100);  
if (loaded\>total) {  
cont1.\_x = 483;  
cont1.\_y = 442;  
nextFrame;  
}  
};  
// end function

from here the fallowing images are loaded each time different : sometimes no images a shown, sometimes only one and the second one is in the left corner, sometime 3 from 5 images are loaded and placed and sometimes it works properly 😕

on FRAME 2 :  
//im2

cont2= this.createEmptyMovieClip(“container2”, 601);  
cont2.loadMovie(location+“2.JPG”, 602);

this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
total = cont2.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = cont2.getBytesLoaded();  
percent2 = Math.round(loaded/total\*100);  
if (loaded\>total) {  
cont2.\_x = 605;  
cont2.\_y = 442;  
nextFrame();  
}  
}; //end function

on Frame 3 ☹ for the image 3 )  
//im3

cont3= this.createEmptyMovieClip(“container3”, 701);  
cont3.loadMovie(location+“3.JPG”, 702);

this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
total = cont3.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = cont3.getBytesLoaded();  
percent3 = Math.round(loaded/total\*100);  
if (loaded\>total) {  
cont3.\_x = 728;  
cont3.\_y = 442;  
nextFrame();  
}  
}; //end function

and so on… why doesn’t each objet do its job : loading the image and placing it on the right place ???

what’s wrong???

Thanks for your help 🙂
