I have an xml image bank, pretty standard, and I have a loader, along with movie clips that I want the images loaded into, the problem that I am running into is I want the images to load into separate movie clips, so I’m using a case statement to specify where they go. However, I can only get them to load into a single movie clip, I assume they are loading ontop of each other and I don’t know how to get them to separate out. I’ll post my code. It doesn’t make any sense to me but if you have any suggestions that would be real great.

I can make separate loaders and then just do 1 image per loader, but that just doesn’t sound right to me.

   var counterNumber:Number = 0;

   function callThumbs():void{
     for (var i:Number = 0; i <3; i++){
        thumbLoaded();
        counterNumber++;
     }
   }




    function thumbLoaded(){

    var photoLoader = new Loader();

    switch (counterNumber){

            case 1:
                photoLoader.load(new URLRequest(MovieClip(this.parent).xml.photos.imageOne.image.@url[0]));
                whole.boxOne.pictureLoader.addChild(photoLoader);
                trace("1Done");
                break;

            case 2:
                photoLoader.load(new URLRequest(MovieClip(this.parent).xml.photos.imageTwo.image.@url[0]));
                whole.boxTwo.pictureLoader.addChild(photoLoader);
                trace("2Done");
                break;    
       }
   }
