Knowing when my external swf has finished reading

Question

Hi,
I'm quite new to as, and I expected a few things to be,
well... Easier !
Here is the code I've been working on :
quote:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;
Security.allowDomain("localhost/spip2");
var tab_url = new Array('
http://localhost/spip2/squelettes-dist/flash1.swf',
http://localhost/spip2/squelettes-dist/flash2.swf');
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var ldra:Loader = new Loader();
var context = new LoaderContext();
var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(container);
function actionScriptFunction(taburl) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(taburl[0]);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.UNLOAD,termine);
ldr.load(request,context);
container.addChild(ldr);
function termine(pEvt:Event):void{
ldr.unload();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(taburl[1]);
var context2 = new LoaderContext();
ldr.load(request,context2);
addChild(ldr);
actionScriptFunction(tab_url);
In a few words : I load a first .swf, and when it's over, I
load another one. I can't add any script to the .swf files
themselves. I've probably made my script more complicated than it
should be, however, my main problem still remains : obviously
'Event.UNLOAD' is incorrect, but how do I know my first movie is
over ? I tried to use currentframe / totalframes, but they don't
seem to return anything useful.
Is there a way to "catch" the end of a .swf ?
Thanks to anyone who could help !

Answer 1

while possible, you would have to put that in an onEnterFrame
function, which tends to be fairly heavy, or even a SetInterval,
which is also heavy. It would be better to simply put a function
call in the last frame of the externally loaded SWF.
