in a frame AFTER the loadMovie command, set the target movie clip’s _alpha to 0 (zero) and tell it to gotoAndStop frame 1 (one).
then have a preloader display the status of the clip that is loading. when it reaches 100% set the target clip’s _alpha to 100 and tell it to play.

you can usehe preloader on te kirpa.com site tutorials or a lad lefta cool preloader on this forum and it goes like this

if (!zInit) {
createEmptyMovieClip(“mcBorders”, 2);
createEmptyMovieClip(“mcProgress”, 1);
mcBorders.lineStyle(2, 0x0000ff, 100);
mcBorders.moveTo(25, 180);
mcBorders.lineTo(25, 220);
mcBorders.moveTo(525, 180);
mcBorders.lineTo(525, 220);
mcBorders.zInit = true;
}
_root.nPercentLoaded = (_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())100;
_root.nXround = (Math.ceil(nPercentLoaded/20))20;
mcProgress.beginFill(0xff0000,100);
mcProgress.moveTo(25, 190);
mcProgress.lineTo((nPercentLoaded5)+25, 190);
mcProgress.lineTo((nPercentLoaded5)+25, 210);
mcProgress.lineTo(25, 210);
mcProgress.endFill();
if (_root.nPercentLoaded<100) {
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1);
} else {
removeMovieClip(_root.mcBorders);
removeMovieClip(_root.mcProgress);
}

It Is set up as the normal size of the stage ad i dunno how to change it
