I am loading an external .swf file onto my stage. This is the script I am using:

createEmptyMovieClip(“village\_holder”, 1);  
village\_holder.loadMovie(url, 0);

onEnterFrame = function() {  
var bytes\_loaded = village\_holder.getBytesLoaded();  
var bytes\_total = village\_holder.getBytesTotal();

```
if(bytes_loaded &gt; 0) {
    var percent_loaded = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
    
    if(percent_loaded == 1) {            
        nextFrame();
    }
}

```

}

It loads everything great, but it lags so bad when it plays!!! Am I loading everything prperly? The external .swf file is just under 200 kb, but that should be ok, right? I would appreciate any help if there is a way to prevent lagging. maybe a way to ask for more ram from the computer?

I really need any help/input on this problem, thanks.
