Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

i have a simple slide show type .fla (AS 3.0)
slide1, space to goto slide2, space to goto slide3, etc. then, i need to load an external .swf to act as slide4. it loads, plays, and then stops on the last frame of the external .swf. I cannot find info on how to wait for the external swf to play and finish, and then jump right into the main movie at slide5.

this make sense?

any ideas?

var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
function startLoad(urlParam:String)
{
if(mcHolder.numChildren > 0)
{
mcHolder.removeChildAt(0);
}
if(urlParam != “”)
{
mLoader = new Loader();
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
mLoader.load (new URLRequest(urlParam));
}
else
{
trace(“We have an empty string URL param.”);
}
}

function onCompleteHandler(e:Event):void
{
mcHolder.addChild(e.target.content);
}
function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent)
{
var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal;
trace(percent);
}

“mcHolder” is an emtpy MC on the stage. You can call the function multiple times with:

startLoad(“movie.swf”);
or startLoad(“”);

I had the same #2505 error. I did what Ed did,

myloader = new Loader();
myloader.load(newValue);

And it worked!

But doesn’t this mean that each previously loaded content stays? (Which isn’t a problem for me, because there are only 9 images loaded to my movie) – Wouldn’t it use up more memory, because it’s creating a new instance of a loader?
