I am loading/unloading various swf animation which is now working fine.

But I can work how to make a delay for 8 secs before the next swf loads.

This is the code which i have been using.

var clips:Array = [“clip0.swf”, “clip1.swf”, “clip2.swf”];  
var index:int = 0;

var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();  
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);  
var thisMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();  
stage.addChild(thisMC);  
function nextClip():void {  
thisLoader.load( new URLRequest(clips[index]) );  
}

function doneLoading(e:Event):void {  
stage.removeChild(thisMC);  
thisMC = MovieClip(thisLoader.content);  
thisLoader.unload();  
thisMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, runOnce);  
stage.addChild(thisMC);  
thisMC.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

function runOnce(e:Event):void {  
if (thisMC.currentFrame == thisMC.totalFrames) {  
thisMC.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, runOnce);  
index = (index + 1)%(clips.length);  
nextClip();  
}  
}

nextClip();

please could some help.
