Hello!  
I have a swf that is built with 3 scenes. The 1st scene is actually the prealoader for the movie.  
Now, in the last scene i load an external picture (picture.loadMovie(…)). I want to load the picture in the first scene,as i need it allready loaded when displaying it in scene 3. to avoid the loading delay.  
Can this be done?  
thanks!
