Need help loading .swfs one by one, in specific order

Question

i have been trying to figure this out for weeks now, and have
even posted on other forums about this, but nobody seems to be
willing to help me. i have a main swf, which is the basis for my
image gallery. once this page loads, a thumbnail should start
loading with a preloader displaying the precentage loaded. once the
percentage hits 100%, the image shows up, and the next thumbnail
starts, and so on. there are 15 thumbnails total that have to be
loaded. each one should load with a 10 pixel gap all around, and i
want to have 5 images load per row. i think i need to create empty
movie clips for each thumbnail to load into, but i'm not sure.
hell, i don't even know how to code this so it will work correctly.
would someone be willing to put this together for me? i am a
beginner actionscripter, and if people simply tell me "add this
line in so this will happen," i will have no idea what to do, so
that is why i need the code put in for me. i'm hoping someone here
is nice enough to do this for me, because being ignored on two
other forums has made me just want to say "screw it."
so PLEASE, can someone help me?
i have uploaded my files into a .zip file. i have only
uploaded 6 of the pictures, so that i can see if the code (that
someone will hopefully make) works when i asked for 5 thumbnails
per row.

Answer 1

i completely understand. i've actually come up with a
semi-working solution!
i have 15 thumbnails total, but when i play the movie, all 15
load on one line and after 5 show up, the rest go off the stage. i
would like to set it up so that there are 5 .swfs per row. i have
one main .swf file, and two .as files. the code for each is as
follows (the ========== is just to separate the code):
main .swf code (called test.swf):
==========
fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
// A container clip for our thumbnails
var thumbnails_mc:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnails_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
// An array holding the paths to our thumbnails
var thumbnailPaths_arr:Array = ["1.swf", "2.swf", "3.swf",
"4.swf", "5.swf", "6.swf", "7.swf", "8.swf", "9.swf", "10.swf",
"11.swf", "12.swf", "13.swf", "14.swf", "15.swf"];
// Our ThumbnailManager
var thumbnailManager:ThumbnailManager = new
ThumbnailManager(thumbnails_mc, thumbnailPaths_arr);
==========
ThumbnailManager.as code:
==========
import Thumbnail
class ThumbnailManager
private var counter:Number = 0;
private var root_mc:MovieClip;
private var thumbnailPaths_arr:Array;
public function ThumbnailManager (target:MovieClip,
paths:Array)
root_mc = target;
thumbnailPaths_arr = paths;
(thumbnailPaths_arr.length > 0)? createThumbnail() :
null;
private function createThumbnail ():Void
var thumb:Thumbnail = new Thumbnail(this,
thumbnailPaths_arr[counter], root_mc, counter);
counter++;
public function onThumbnailLoaded ():Void
if (counter < thumbnailPaths_arr.length)
createThumbnail();
else
==========
Thumbnail.as code:
==========
import AsBroadcaster
import ThumbnailManager
class Thumbnail
public var addListener:Function;
public var removeListener:Function;
public var broadcastMessage:Function;
private var thumbnailWidth:Number = 88;
private var thumbnailHeight:Number = 61;
private var thumbnailOffsetX:Number = 10;
private var thumbnailOffsetY:Number = 10;
private var view_mc:MovieClip;
private var image_mc:MovieClip;
private var loader_mcl:MovieClipLoader;
public function Thumbnail (manager:ThumbnailManager,
url:String, target:MovieClip, d:Number)
AsBroadcaster.initialize(this);
this.addListener(manager);
render(url, target, d);
private function render (url:String, target:MovieClip,
d:Number):Void
view_mc = target.attachMovie("thumbnail", "thumb_"+d+"_mc",
d);
view_mc._x = (d * thumbnailWidth) + (d * thumbnailOffsetX);
view_mc._y = 0;
image_mc = view_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc",
view_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
image_mc._x = 0;
image_mc._y = 0;
loader_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
loader_mcl.addListener(this);
loader_mcl.loadClip(url, image_mc);
public function onLoadError (target:MovieClip,
error:String):Void
broadcastMessage("onThumbnailLoaded");
public function onLoadProgress (target:MovieClip, bL:Number,
bT:Number):Void
public function onLoadInit (target:MovieClip):Void
broadcastMessage("onThumbnailLoaded");

can anyone help me out with what code to put where? i have
uploaded a .zip file which contains all of the files here:
