Into xml driven slideshow not under scope of preloader?

Hi Hi

I have a swf file that opens with a full browser xml slideshow. I’ve noticed when I have a preloader on frame 1 for my file, it is ‘completing’ before the xml images have loaded… everything else loads (a bunch of text and some menu items) but the xml slideshow images seem to be outside of the scope for my preloader. Any suggestions on how I can tell my file not to play until all elements (xml driven slideshow, menu items etc) are loaded?

Thanks!
