Can someone please explain how the \_visible property works and how I can use it with loading external movies into my main.swf…

I have 3 movies loading into my main and I want to hide two of the movies until my main movie is preloaded. I am using a preloader for the main movie but I don’t need it for the other two movies…

Any help is appreciated.
