I´m using Loader class to load external swf, like was done in AS2 with MovieClipLoader.
The big problem is that the loaded swf start playing even before finish loading! Yes, that´s right, when the loading ends, your animation is at middle or end!
I try to load an as2 and as3 external swf, but the problem is the same.
I check the same with MovieClipLoader and loadMovie from AS2 and the same happens.
My question is, there´s any way to load an external swf, but only play when it´s finished?
The only solution I found was to put a stop at the first frame, on a scene before the movieClip start, because even with a stop on the first frame, if it has sub movieClips, they start playing too.
AS2: Here you can see that the animation already shows even it´s not fully loaded.

AS3: The same, but I can´t addChild until it has enouth information.

AS3: Here I´m using Event.INIT to addChild right when it´s ready to display, and I´m doing a stop() and just play() when it´s complete.
But the bar at the bottom is a movieClip, that don´t respect my stop, as expected.

Should be the solution, load the swf as a binary stream, and somehow add it and play? Could I still have loading progress?
