hi Ned. Have built it up to proper syntax but getting an error:

This happens when the jpg images are in the same directory as the FLA file.

On the other hand, when the images are in a folder on their own, also in the same file as the FLA file, using the path in AS URL request (var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../twirl_test"+imageArray); i get a security error that i've experienced in the past as relating to improper path: SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.events.Event;

var count:int = 0;

var imageArray:Array=["image1.jpg","image2.jpg","image3.jpg","image4.jpg" ,"image5.jpg","image6.jpg","image7.jpg",

"image8.jpg","image9.jpg","image10.jpg"];

var url:String = "D:/flash cs5.5/image_sequence/twirl_test/"+imageArray;//TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.

//var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../twirl_test/"+imageArray);

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);//SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

//this is if u dont want the loader on the stage BETTER PRACTICE

function imageLoaded(event:Event):void

{

    addChild(loader);

}

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

loader.load(request);

function loadCurrentImage(){

     loader.load(imageArray[count])

     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete)

}

function loadComplete(event:Event){

     // first process loaded image, then...

    count++;

    if(count < imageArray.length){

        loadCurrentImage();  // load the next image

    } else {

        // sequencial loading complete, carry on to next activity

    }

}

one element added at a time.

any help, from anyone, would be appreciated.

Ned, i am wondering if this - adding images sequentially to have a moving-image effect may be done using indexing - by adding one image to one loader on one frame? if so, can u help with the code for index? i cant remember how it's done. thanks for your help.

Ned, sorry, this is too cryptic for me to follow, i suppose i need to see examples of code to know what u mean.

thanks anyway.

best.

i imagine that once the path is established (the string), imageArray is the variable specified for it. The array - imageArray, is, i am imagining, the still images inside the folder thats in the url string, and therefor, in adding imageArray, it's like referring to the group of images versus one specific image, as such "D:/flash cs5.5/image_sequence/twirl_test/image1.jpg

so instead of getting image1.jpg, i am trying to tell Flash to get the images in the array, in accordance with their numeric order.

that's what i imagine.

Ned. i simply do not know how to load a sequential array of images, so if you know how to and would like to share the code. Please do.

thanks.
