Breakthrough

11:50am JST Wednesday 21 February 2007 (day 13482)

Just had a good breakthrough in flash coding. I was trying for some days, but not until this morning, thanks to Marlon Valenzuela aka Sophistikat, was I able to figure out when a loaded movie ends. Now I can.

My code:

// these are the movies in the order we will load them.
swfArray = new Array("movie1.swf","movie2.swf","movie3.swf");

var next_movie:Number = 0;   // start with the first movie and roll on from there

this.createEmptyMovieClip("targ1_mc", 1);

targ1_mc.loadMovie(swfArray[next_movie]);
 
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
        if (targ1_mc._totalframes == targ1_mc._currentframe) {  //  this is the key  
	next_movie ++;
	targ1_mc.loadMovie(swfArray[next_movie]);
        trace("next movie please");
    }else{
        trace(targ1_mc._currentframe);
    }
}

There is an obvious issue with running over the end of the array, but that's outside the scope of my original problem.

I've just finished watching Fastwalkers, a documentary basically proving we are not alone, and that information of alien civilizations is being hid from the masses. I highly recommend the movie.
