as3 loop loading urls - continue loop on complete

Question

I am trying to load a bunch of files in order. I want the other to start downloading once the previous has downloaded. I thought the best way to do this would be through a for loop.

TheURL = is a bunch of urls in a ARRAY

for(var i:int=0;i<TheURL.length;i++)
{
    var urlString:String = TheURL[i];
    var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlString);
    var urlStream:URLStream = new URLStream();
    var fileData:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
    urlStream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
    urlStream.load(urlReq);

function loaded(event:Event):void
    {
        /// code to continue loop
    }

}

It is important that the others do not start downloading until the previous has completed. How can I do that?

Answer 1

function downloadFiles():void
{
    downloadNextFile();
}

function downloadNextFile():void
{
    var urlString:String = TheURL.shift();
    var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlString);
    var urlStream:URLStream = new URLStream();
    var fileData:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
    urlStream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
    urlStream.load(urlReq);
}

function loaded(event:Event):void
{
     downloadNextFile();
}
