I have a movie ( Movie\_mc), broken into scenes; which are actually movies (sceneOne\_mc, sceneTwo\_mc). Each scene is on a frame, corresponding to it’s scene number ( sceneOne\_mc, Frame 1).Each Frame in the \_root timeline has a stop(); action on it - which allows the “scene” movie to play to the end of its timeline, where I have a \_root.gotoAndPlay(frame #) - progressing the playhead to the next frame -playing the next “scene”. Within the scene(s)\_mc, I am loading external swfs into empty mc clips using: \_root.sceneOne.clip\_mc.loadMovie(“movie.swf”, “clip\_mc”);. On a slow connection, the swfs are not loading in quick enough - leaving the viewer with a image that pops in too late. Is there a way to preload the swfs - on the first frame of the main movie - into the nested clips further down the timeline? I’m stumped.Maybe it’s just not possible?

Any Help would be appreciated…
