thanks for the idea but this approach will not work in my case because the images are loaded sequencially. If one image is finished loading, my class starts loading the next and so on, one after one. And the amount of images varies (the image filenames are fetched from a XML file). put the

The point of AS2 is: - packages - strong typing If you are not taking advantage of the first, that is ok. AS1 prototype's are created in the _global scope, so the 2 can co-exist. However, AS1 does not use strong typing; basically everything is uncast so tracking down bugs will be easier in
