Need a little help please…

I know how to preload and load external swfs into my flash mx movies… however, now I have to load more than one at a time and play them when they are all loaded.

I suspect I must incorporate some sort of array into my preload function but do not knowhow…

any help would be appreciated greatly…

thanks to all who reply.

Take a look at this: [http://actionscript-toolbox.com/samplemx\_slideshow.php](http://actionscript-toolbox.com/samplemx_slideshow.php)  
A very nice implementation 🙂 you don’t have to use everything they use there, but the loadInSeq prototype should give you pointers.
