FLASH: movieclip wait problem

[neil edwards]

hi


I'm a having problem with movieclip alaoding and getting flash to wait for

externally laoded clip to laod before using them.


timeline:


animholder-- mc

projectholder --mc


other static instances


---


movie starts and loads an external clip into animholder


then on a user button action a load movie call is

initiatd with:


Set Variable: "movieloaded" = false

Load Movie (loadmovieid&".swf", "/projectholder")


this then loops  with the animation going while the loadmovie action is

going on:


If (("movieloaded"=false) and (GetProperty ("/projectholder", _framesloaded)

= GetProperty ("/projectholder", _totalframes)))

      Set Variable: "movieloaded" = true

      Go to and Play ("loaded")

      Set Property ("animholder", Visibility) = false

Else

      Go to Previous Frame

      Play

End If


I'm assuming this should work (especially as copied the if part from a mm

movie demo. but it dosent, it goes directly to frame "loaded" and then loads

the clip

why is this?

I'm using this method in several places and it always dosent wait.
