movieClipLoader sequence

Hello List,

I am wondering something regarding movieClipLoader.
Basically first I  
am creating holder mc's to load my images into. The number
of mcs are  
according to imageArray.length. This is an array which holds
the  
images to be loaded.

var theLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var theListener:Object = new Object();
theLoader.addListener(theListener);
//above is the typical MovieClipLoader listener object
instantiation.


for (var i:Number = 0; i<imageArray.length; i++) {
	var tempMc =
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("tempMC"+i,  
this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_alpha:0});
	imageMcArray.push(tempMc);

}


then I am calling the loadClip method. Tracing the
imageMcArray gives  
me this result:


for (var i:Number = 0; i<imageArray.length; i++) {
	theLoader.loadClip(imageArray[i],imageMcArray[i]);
	trace(imageMcArray[i]);
	// traces _level0.tempMC0, _level0.tempMC1

}

Everything looks fine until here. I am assuming above method
loads  
images sequentially. I do have a onLoadInit method which I
call to  
trigger some more methods. This is where the problem occurs.
Please  
see below:


theListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {
	var bitmapPic = new BitmapData(mc._width, mc._height);
	bitmapPic.draw(mc,new Matrix());
	imageBmpArray.push(bitmapPic);
	trace(mc); // trace gives me // traces _level0.tempMC1,
_level0.tempMC0
	mc.removeMovieClip();
};

As you can see, second trace gives me my list in the reverse
order. I  
am confused why I am getting the reversed order in this
second trace.  
Does this mean images are not loading sequentially at all?
Can  
someone clarify this for me?

best,
ilteris

all of the MCs are not the same size for one so they will
more than likely
call the init out of order.

So what you would want to do, if you plan on waiting for all
of them to
load, is add a var to increment and set that against your
array total, if
they  match then call the next function.

not sure if that answers your question though.
