sequential loading not working

[sandman9]

Why doesn't this work .... it's jesse's code altered



count = 0;

numMoviesToLoad = 5;

function loadNext () {

if (count<numMoviesToLoad) {

count++;

loadMovie ("pics/w"+count+".jpg", _root.container);


}
}


loadNext();
trace(count);

count = 0;
numMoviesToLoad = 5;
//
function loadNext () {
if (count<numMoviesToLoad) {
count++;
this.loadMovie ("pics/w"+ count +".jpg");
trace("count");
trace ("IT WORKED!");

}
else {
trace ("error!");
}
};
//
_root.container.loadNext();


See if this returns "error." Try that and get back.

BTW: not sure about this one, but if you're running windows, it will need to be uploaded to a server for testing, because of this line:
"pics/w"+ count +".jpg"
I'm not positive, because I'm still I noobie to windows flash, but the windows syntax uses \ instead of /, unlike servers.

that sucks....

Want to explain what you want to do?...Maybe we can help.

If you work with prototypes...I think that will help a bit.

Maybe after my night class, I'll write you up an *.fla :D
