Hi there, I’m pretty new to AS3 and I have a problem.  
I’m trying to load multiple external swf files into my main movie and arrange them on the stage (talking about 20 or more mc-s)  
So far I figured out how to load one single mc like this:

```auto

// Make request and loader
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pano1.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

// This is done after the swf is loaded.
function finished_loading (e:Event) {
var externalMovie = MovieClip(loader.content); // cast 'DisplayObject' to 'MovieClip'
this.addChild(externalMovie); // add your swf directly to the stage
//externalMovie.gotoAndPlay("start"); // Now you can use all MovieClip methods!
externalMovie.x = 130;
externalMovie.y = 18;
}

// Tell the loader to call 'finished_loading' after the swf is loaded.
import flash.events.Event;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(flash.events.Event.COMPLETE, finished_loading);

// Start loading.
loader.load(request);

```

Can somebody help me modify this (or point me to a tut. or something) to load an array of swf files and add them all to the stage?

Thanx in advance!
