flash as3 movieClip loader没有按数字顺序加载

Question

I am loading an array of movie clips and adding them to the stage with flash as3, but the problem is that the movie clips are added to the stage as soon as they finish loading, and not in order of there position in the array, so the order on screen appears messed up. How do I ensure that they are added to the stage in the same order that their references exist in the URL? Here is my code:

var currentLoaded:int = 0;

function loadThumbs(){
    for (var i in project_array){
        var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();
        thumbLoader.load(new URLRequest(project_array[i].project_thumb));
        thumbLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, thumbLoaded);
    }
}

function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void {
    project_array[currentLoaded].projectThumb.thumbHolder.addChild(e.target.content);
    admin.slideHolder.addChild(project_array[currentLoaded].projectThumb);
    currentLoaded++;
}

Assets might load faster than others, so something like this might help...

  function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void {
      project_array[currentLoaded].projectThumb.thumbHolder.addChild(e.target.content);
      currentLoaded++;
      if(currentLoaded>=project_array.length){
        addAssetsToStage();
      }
    }

    function addAssetsToStage():void{
      for(var i:int=0;i<project_array.length;i++)
      {
        admin.slideHolder.addChild(project_array[i].projectThumb);
      }   
    }

Well I was just typing the same solution... to Load in some specific order, you have to make it recursive. You may try the loadermax library from greensock. Is rock solid, fast and lightweight. Besides that very easy to use and you can set the ammount of parallel loading treads. you can find it here

Well, I suppose this works - but if anyone figures out a way to do this without waiting for each previous image to load before starting another load, please let me know!

    var currentLoaded:int = 0;

function loadThumbs(){
    if (currentLoaded < project_array.length){
        var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();
        thumbLoader.load(new URLRequest(project_array[currentLoaded].project_thumb));
        thumbLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, thumbLoaded);
    }
}

function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void {
    project_array[currentLoaded].projectThumb.thumbHolder.addChild(e.target.content);
    admin.slideHolder.addChild(project_array[currentLoaded].projectThumb);
    currentLoaded++;
    loadThumbs();
}
