Thanks

I have a question. I'm building a full browser flash website. There are three elements to it. I have the Preloader MovieClip that has a Class with your QueueLoader Class, I want to add two external swf, one is the background, and the other is the interface. They both are empty MovieClips on the main timeline, and when I both finish loading the two swf files, I tell the Preloader to move out of the stage, and once that moves it tells the background to play, but nothing happens, and basically the assets inside the background movieclip comes as undefine, like the external swf file was never loaded there. How can I go around to fix this problem.

Well, I already kinda did something like that. I added something to the onItemStart event, like:

qListener.onItemStart = function(evObj:Object) {
….
evObj.target_mc.stop();
}

That prevents the movies from starting up. But on onQueueComplete, or onQueueInit, doing:

evObj.target_mc.play();

Only starts the last loaded movie. And it seems like the handle for the first loaded movie is destroyed.

And no, I don't need to have the two movies load at the same time, but only have them START at the same time! So, your QueueLoader certainly isn't overkill, as I need to have both preloaded before I can even start them simultaneously. So, after the second movie has loaded, is there any way, from with QueueLoader, I can still I can start the first movie?

You can access the main.swf before the music.swf is done loading using the following listener:
_oLoader.addEventListener(QueueLoaderEvent.ITEM_INIT, onItemInit);

Everything loads in the respective order it's added to QueueLoader.

Hope that helps!

This looks like a great class! I must not be comprehending something, though. I took the demo files, and had it load two items, like so:

qLoader.addItem("/movies/main.swf", holder_mc1, {name:"main"});
qLoader.addItem("/movies/music.swf", holder_mc2, {name:"music"});

It begins preloading boths swf files. But then, after it preloaded music.swf (the second file), the "main.swf" movie is starting half-way! Which is to say, it seems to have started right after it was loaded (but was kept invisible until music.swf was loaded, right?). Naturally, this defeats my purpose of using your class to preload both movies (main + background music), both of which need to be started at the same time!

I've been searching all land and sea to find a good preloader that can do that; and your class seemed perfectly suited for my needs. Please, don't tell me my impression was wrong. Obviously I must have misunderstood how things work exactly. Can you please tell me what I'm missing? (and yes, I'm kinda new to flash).

Thx!

I'm working on some updates to QueueLoader including LoaderContext for accessing loaded Class references in the parent application domain. I will also include a reference to the loader in the QueueLoaderEvent variables.
