Subject: [flasher] loading multiple movies



Hi everyone


I would like to (pre)load 4 movies into my main.swf movie.

Their first frame is empty with a stop action in it. The second and third

frames are preloader frames.


ifFrameLoaded (_totalFrames) {

    gotoAndPlay (4);

}



Each of them or loaded into a different level.


I start loading them in frame 3 of the main.sfw:


loadMovieNum ("/medium.swf", 1);

loadMovieNum ("/contact.swf", 2);

loadMovieNum ("/clients.swf", 3);

loadMovieNum ("/ratecard.swf", 4);


I would like to trigger the medium.swf to play as soon as the main reaches

it last frame.

This is my attempt...I have a feeling it plays the second frame of main.swf

rather than the the second frame of medium.swf. (basically the movie ends up

looping)


stop ();

loadMovieNum ("/medium.swf", 1);

tellTarget ("_level1") {

    gotoAndPlay (2);

}




Does anyone know a good tutorial that will explain loading multiple movies?

Or maybe someone can tell immediately what's not right here...?


Cheers, 

Kathy
