[ncl-talk] Using loadscript within a do loop

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Luke,

It looks like what we are seeing is that each call to loadscript() is a
directive to load script that is to be queued-up and executed at the
conclusion of the loop.  I don't get that understanding from the docs, and
I can't say if its intended behavior or not.

In any case, I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but repeatedly loading
a script inside a loop sounds like a lot od duplication and performance
overhead.  Is there other way to refactor your code?
