Hello, all of you brilliant people! I have a question and hope that someone may be able to help.

I have a container .fla movie and would like to load consecutive external .swf files. Right now I have a play button triggering the loading of the next movie, but what I would REALLY like is a smooth transition from .swf to .swf using a listener so that the next .swf will load once the previous one has finished. I have a counter which determines the next .swf in order.

So far, my code is this:

Counter:

stop();  
//SETUP OUR COUNTER  
var mcCounter:Number = 0;

//THIS BLOCK IS ONLY TO HANDLE THE LOADER AND THE FIRST MOVIE, movie0.swf  
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
var loadListener:Object = new Object();  
myMCL.addListener(loadListener);  
myMCL.loadClip(“movie” + mcCounter + “.swf”, 6);  
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function():Void {  
\_level0.play();  
}

//-------------------------\<CLIP LOADERS\>------------------------------\  
function loadNextClip():Void {  
if(mcCounter \< 6) {  
mcCounter++;  
var nextMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
nextMCL.addListener(this);  
nextMCL.loadClip(“movie” + mcCounter + “.swf”,6);  
}

}  
//LOADS PREVIOUS CLIP , WON"T GO PAST ZERO  
function loadPrevClip():Void {  
if(mcCounter \> 0) {  
mcCounter–;  
var prevMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
prevMCL.addListener(this);  
prevMCL.loadClip(“movie” + mcCounter + “.swf”,6);  
}  
}  
//-------------------------\</CLIP LOADERS\>------------------------------\

Any suggestions? I appreciate ANY help you can offer. I have been unsuccessfully looking for hours online, and can’t find any examples, although it doesn’t seem as if it should be the hardest thing in the world.
