I’m using a preload function with the Movie Clip Loader. Everything works like it should except the external swf’s will play before they are fully loaded. At first I only had one frame in each swf, and they wouldn’t show up until 100%. Then i added some animations, and now they play out at around 60% loaded.

I know I can fix it with stop() on the first frame and tell it to play after 100%, but I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or is it something common with MCL and i just wasn’t aware of it.
