Selectively pre-loading a movie clip

I’m currently working on a Flash site with AS2 (I made the switch to Flash CS3 in the middle of the project and kept things in AS2 to avoid any potential problems). You can look at the site by going here http://www.boxedlynch.com/clients/amo/amotest1.html .

As you can see by going to the link the preloader takes a loooooong time. After going through the preloader tutorials I have still yet to find an effective way of making the preloader at the begging load only the opening animation or any other preloaders after that load a specific movie.

I’m greatful to any help anyone might be able to provide.

Thanks,
Dave.
