I could be mistaken of course… here is the code.

[AS]  
picNames = [“pic1.jpg”, “pic2.jpg”, “pic3.jpg”, “pic4.jpg”, “pic5.jpg”, “pic6.jpg”];  
picNamesB = [“pic7.jpg”, “pic8.jpg”, “pic9.jpg”, “pic10.jpg”, “pic11.jpg”, “pic12.jpg”];

pic1();  
pic2();

function pic1() {  
for (i=0; i\<picNames.length; i++) {  
clipa = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“clipa”+i, +i);  
clipa.\_y = 10;  
clipa.\_x = i_90;  
loadMovie(picNames_, “clipa”+i);  
trace(“function pic1”);  
}

}

function pic2() {  
for (i=0; i\<picNamesB.length; i++) {  
clipb = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”+i, +i);  
clipb.\_y = 100;  
clipb.\_x = i_90;  
loadMovie(picNamesB_, “container”+i);  
trace(“function pic2”);  
}  
}

[/AS]

I can’t understand, I’ve tried several things changing variables so that they are different and such… I dont understand why only the last function will run… if i remove pic2(); then pic1(); will run if I put both then pic2(); will run and not pic1();…

i’m confused
