XML images loading...

Hi. I’m working on a slideshow and i want to load all the images at once like in this gallery but I don’t know how to do it. Can you help me? Please!

it’s not a good idea to load all the files at the beginning… makes the user to get bored

this is the request so i have to do it

counter = 0
my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
listener = new Object
my_mc.addListener(listener)

listener.onLoadInit = function(){
    counter+=1
    my_mc.loadClip(image[counter], bigImage[counter]);
}
my_mc.loadClip(image[counter], bigImage[counter]);

in this example “image” is an array with the paths to the images. “bigImage” is an array containing the target movieclip.

You could make put an if statement somewhere, like:

if(counter >= total){
       //start gallery
}

Thank you BigZ

Here is furnished version of BigZ’s code:

var counter:Number = 0;
var my_mc:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener : Object = new Object();
my_mc.addListener(listener)

function startLoadingImages():Void{
   loadNextImage();
}

function loadNextImage():Void{
   my_mc.loadClip(images[counter], bigImage[counter]);
}
listener.onLoadInit = function(){
    if( ++counter < images.length ){
      loadNextImage();
    }
    else{
      initGallery();
    }

}
startLoadingImages();

yeah saafi, I thought he could think of that himself anyways nice refined code

glad to be able to help.

Thank you both of you

var my_mc:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener : Object = new Object();
my_mc.addListener(listener)

function loadNextImage():Void{
   my_mc.loadClip(images[images.length], bigImage[images.length]);
}

listener.onLoadInit = function(){
    images.pop()
    if(images.length > 0) {
        loadNextImage();
        } else {
            initGallery();
        }
}
loadNextImage();

I will try it tomorrow, it’s too late now
