I have an interesting problem

In my site i want to load into an specific MC different external swf files.

have no problems loading them, but, is there any way to load an swf file, just when the previous one finished?

i dont have the \*.fla of the external \*.swf files, and all are import protected

what can i do?

thank!

just read your thread… i’m going to explain you how to solve your problem in a few hours, when i’ll be sitting in my chair my place 🙂

the main idea is that loading externally .swf’s is just like loading the main .swf … you use almost the same coding as if you would do a preloader for the main movie…

i’ll get back to that as I said, later… right now, gotta have some fresh air… it’s my 10 minute break 🙂

since your knowledge of actionscript is poor, i recommend you read all the articles at [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) and then start working on different projects

i undestand all the facts in the tutorial, and i can use them without any probles, i only cant control the loading of external swf files, in a sequence, when the second file loads, just after the first finished preloading and finished playing

i sent the tutorial url, to several friends, and they all found it really usefull!

thanks again,

any ideas to help solve this problem?
