I’ve got a Flash movie in a popup window that loads several external jpg’s (in a for-loop) with the ‘loadMovie’ command. I have two questions about this:

- When I close the popup window before all jpg’s are loaded, Internet Explorer freezes. I have to restart IE to be able to continue working. Is there a way to avoid this?

- A related issue: when I click a html-link on the page that contains the Flash movie, the next html-page doesn’t load until all jpg’s in the swf on the current page are loaded. Is there a way to cancel the loading of the external jpg’s somehow?
