loading external swf, help please

[scorptique]

Hello. Im new to this forum and very new to AS3. I have a problem with my preloader. My teacher gave me this chunk of code. The problem is...with every individual external swf file that loads, the preloader animation plays once. So the preloader plays like 11 times -_-" to load all the external swf files.

I want the preloader animation to play once to load all the swf files. Then all the swf files animation can start playing at the same time. (like normal flash sites do)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


var loadCount:Number = 0;
var percentage:uint;

var externalswfs:Array = new Array('cup2.swf', 'paper1.swf', 'pen_combine.swf',
'paper2.swf', 'tape2.swf', 'tape1.swf', 'paper_small.swf',
'TD.swf', 'sweets.swf', 'book.swf','blank.swf');

//holder1, 2, 3 etc --> empty movie clips on stage with these instance names
var holders:Array = new Array(holder1, holder2, holder3, holder4, holder5, holder6,
holder7, holder9, holder10, holder11, holder12);

loadswf(externalswfs[0], holders[0]);

function loadswf(str:String, holder:MovieClip):void {
var requestSWF:URLRequest=new URLRequest(str);
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.load(requestSWF);

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OP EN,beginloading);
function beginloading() {
preloader_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
preloader_mc.loader_txt.visible = true;
}

//Listener object to listen for the progress and
//executes the currentProgress function with each change

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener
(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,currentProgress);

function currentProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
//This variable get the percentage
percentage = (e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal)*100;
//Place the percentage number in the text field
preloader_mc.loader_txt.text=percentage.toString() +' %';
//My preloader has 200+ frames
preloader_mc.gotoAndStop(percentage/100 * 200);
}

//Listener object to listen to when the swf is fully loaded
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE,completed);

function completed(e:Event):void {
preloader_mc.loader_txt.visible = false;
//lastpart is the last section of animation for the preloader to play after the
//loading is done
preloader_mc.gotoAndPlay('lastpart');
holder.addChildAt(loader.content,0);
loadCount++;
if (loadCount < externalswfs.length) loadswf(externalswfs[loadCount], holders
[loadCount]);
}
}

ok try this. (i am not gonna explain each thing step by step :) )

first u have main template where u coded to load all the external files right?

1. now create a new AS3 file and save it in the same folder
2. resize it to same as the main template.
3. Make 5 layers. Name them as follows: >>
actions
loader
preloader
preloadercontent

4. in the action layer paste this code:

loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
var loaded:Number = loader.bytesLoaded;
var total:Number = loader.bytesTotal;
preloader_mc.scaleX = loaded / total;
}

function onComplete(e:Event):void
{
removeChild(preloader_mc);
removeChild(outline_mc);
}

5. in the loader layer grab a UILoader from the > Components > User Interface
6. drag it to stage (make sure the x and y = 0)
7. in the properties panel name it "loader"
8. click on the parameters in the properties panel and choose these setting:
autoload: true
maintainAspectRation: true
scaleContent: false
source: link it to the main template

9. close that layer and Now, in the preloader layer
make a shape. (make sure the only fill color is selected)
(Width: 400)
(height: 30)
10. convert it to a moveclip. give it a Instance name "preloader"
11. make sure the preloader is selected. In the properties panel name it "preloader_mc"

12. Close preloader layer, now the preloadercontent layer
13. create shape on the stage. choose any color u like (width: 407 | height: 40)
14. convert it to a movie clip and give it a instance name "outline"
15. select the "outline" in the properties panel give it a name "outline_mc

16. test ur movie and everything should load together
