I’m having trouble working out how to load a movie clip in an external .swf, while loading the external .swf.

In the .swf I click on a button which should load the external .swf. It should also load a movie clip in a container within that .swf it’s loading. I can do the first part, I don’t know how to load a movie clip at the same time in the .swf it’s loading.

Is there a way to do this?
