flash actionscript: hi, i'm trying to dynamically load 20+ images into empty movie clips that can
then be cycled through like a slideshow. for some reason i can't wrap my head
around a good way to make this work. so far i can only get them to load into
the same container. any thoughts anyone?

well, on the empty movie clip, my code is:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
holder0.loadMovie(imageArray[0]);
}

when i trace it, it says the right image has been loaded... but i'm not seeing
it. i even tried to put it into a nested container, but i didn't get that to
work either

If you're trying to create a nice, fairly simple slide show, there's a great
example provided by Macromedia (remember them) from the Flash mx days. You can
get the fla here if you want it:
