RE: FLASH: loading swf one after another

[Paul Willoughby]

You might want to consider loading the other movies before the final

keyframe, especially if they are big files. You could do this by loading the

movies into empty movie clips, rather than a level:


'Load Movie("name.swf", /emptyMC1)'


If you put a blank keyframe with a stop action at the beginning of all the

movies then all you would need is a telltarget action at the end of each

movie to get the next one to play (as they have all already loaded in the

background). 

You may want to check that the next movie is fully loaded before you

telltarget it. You can do this with:


If (GetProperty ("/emptyMC1", _framesloaded ) = numberofFramesinthatMovie)

      Begin Tell Target ("/emptyMC1")

            Play

      End Tell Target

Else

      Stop

End If


You could replace Else Stop, with an instruction to go and play a loading

loop.
