How can I preload swf’s whose content uses XML?

I need both the XML and SWF to be fully loaded and available. The problem I have at the moment is that the swf loads and after a slight delay the xml content appears (this is more noticeable at lower bandwidths).

I need for both to appear at the sametime. Is there a way of constructing a preloader that takes both swf and xml bytes together ie getBytesTotal for both swf and xml.

I have seen preloaders for swf’s and xml but not for both.

Thanks in advance.
