Flash question about detecting if a movie is loaded in a level.

I want to have it that on click of any button, that it should detect if swf/musicloader.swf is currently loaded in level 2.

If not it should load it.

Here’s my example of bad scripting of what I think it should logically look like (i dont know actionscript):  
on (release){  
ifMovieLoaded(“swf/musicloader.swf”, 2);  
do nothing  
if not loaded  
loadMovieNum(“swf/musicloader.swf”, 2);  
}

BTW the swf/ is the subdirectory where the .swf is located just in case you’re wondering why it’s there.

If possible, an even shorter version of the same request would be  
on (release){  
if not loaded(“swf/musicloader.swf”, 2);  
loadMovieNum(“swf/musicloader.swf”, 2);  
}

Because naturally if it’s loaded it will do nothing. I think AS is that smart right?
