I'm an idiot. Tack on to my simple load script

programming flash

I know this has been on here about 800 million times, but I can’t get this simple loading script to work with a basic preload function. All I need is to alter this a bit so that it can check on the status of the loaded file and wait until it’s done to move along, but I can’t get it to work.

I’m far from a flash newbie, and feel like a real idiot, so I beg for help.

There is a blank MC being used to load into. The external filenames are stored in a basic array. The files load fine, but I just need to get the check in there so the timeline waits until the file is loaded.

count=0;

function preLoad(Target) {
        var newLoader = "loader"+count;
        _root.loader.duplicateMovieClip(newLoader, count+2);
        _root[newLoader].loadMovie(Target);
}

on frame 1. On frame 3 we call it:

preLoad(fileNames[0]);

I just need it to wait until that’s complete to move forward. Gimme a hand fellas!
