while(true) {
if (slides[slideCounter].imgload) {
addChild(slides[slideCounter].loader.content);
break;
}
}
This is your issue.
Flash just doesn't work like this. You are repeatedly executing the
code in the while loop, giving Flash no chance to do anything else -
update the screen, fire events, anything at all.
The correct answer is to listen for the Event.INIT to be fired (as you
are doing) and then call your addChild function.
I'd really suggest you take a look at some tutorials on Flash's event
system. There are plenty around the web - or, better, consider buying
yourself a book on ActionScript. Rich's book would be ideal:
