Loading large swf's problem

g’day,

I’m making a flash presentation to run off a CD and I’ve encountered a strange problem.

I’ve got a main GUI with an empty movie clip (_root.mc_holder), into which I’m trying to load external SWF files.

I’m using: _root.mc_holder.loadMovie(“intro/intro1.swf”);
to load the first movie after 5 seconds of inactivity.

intro1.swf consists of a 50mb video file imported into the timeline.

When the SWF is loading, the whole flash GUI (or the _root) freezes until the whole external SWF has fully loaded.

There is only one line of code in the external SWF file.

Anyone any Ideas on this?

I’ve tried all the usual prelaoders but as the whole thing freezes the loader can’t update

any help would be great
