i) Descriptions of Parameters
mcName
This parameter represents the movie clip of your Flash movie into which all the swfs will be
loaded one after another.
The default value of this parameter is “_root”. You have to specify the instance name of your
loader movie clip in this parameter . For example, if your movie clip loader’s instance name is
“load” then the value of this parameter will be “load” (see the image below)
swfFiles
This parameter represents the list of your swf file names in the sequence in
which you want them to load one after another.
4. For example in the following image you can see that the swf files “first.swf ”, “second.swf” and
“third.swf” are sequenced in this parameter.
swfseqfile
This parameter comes handy, when you want to play from certain swf which is not the first in the
sequence. By default, this value is “0”, that means it has the reference to the first element of the
swfFiles array value, i.e. the first swf file in the sequence.
For example if you want that your movie should load the second swf file in the sequence when
starts playing, then you should set this parameter to “1” . This will help you the desired sequence
with this specialty to start with the second swf to load at the begining of your flash movie.
Please note that this parameter can not be greater than (the total number of swfs -1)
loop
If you want that after finish playing the last swf , your movie should start loading the first swf

parameter to “False”
