When I have an HTML textfield and I embed an swf into it will the text display before the swf has loaded?

Basically, I have a textfield that’s loading some text from a XML file. I want to embed an SWF in it but I’m not sure if this will cause the text to display slower (ie. text wont show up untill swf fully loads).
