I have searched and searched but I cannot find the answer to this, if someone can please help me out I would appreciate it.

I have two external swf’s. And a button on the main page. I want it so when I click the button, the first swf loads completely, and then the second swf loads on top of it.

Here is the code I have to load both, I know I need something in between them so that the second doesn’t load until the first one is done, but I can’t seem to find it. I tried \_currentframe as well with no luck. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

```php

on (release) {
		_root.bar_expand.loadMovie("bar_expand_screens.swf");
        
        _root.player.loadMovie("screens.swf");
		}

```
