Hey guys!

On my index page, I’m using loadMovieNum to load all my SWFs. I was wondering - is there an easy way to load them consecutively (one after the other) eg so I can load a nav bar first, then a “home” section. Bcoz at the moment, they all load simultaneously (at the same time).

Ne ideas?

(AXNSCRIPT BELOW for frame 1 of index page)

stop();  
loadMovieNum(“nav.swf”, 1);  
loadMovieNum(“home.swf”, 2);

well you could put the action for loading “home” in the nav bar movie. But then you have to use \_root.myhome.loadVariables(); or loadVariables("", \_root.myhome);  
so you have to include the mc where you want home to be loaded in!  
Remember “\_root.” is the main timeline of a movie  
But when a movie is loaded to another movie then “\_root” is the main timeline of the movie it’s loaded into!
