Hi guys,  
How do i check whether an external SWF which is loaded onto a movieclip (sub\_mc.loadMovie(“introduction\_1.swf”)) has finished loading or not. If the loading is done, then an animatoin inside a movieclip will be played, else the preloader continues. pleeease help…:chinaman:

Thanks in advance
