Stoping movie clip after loaded

Hello,

 This seems to be a straightforward problem but I can't seem to get this to work.

I’m trying to load a movie and stop it when it’s fully loaded.

Right now, when I load a movie it automatically starts playing after it’s fully loaded.

Here’s the code I’m using:

_root.media_clip.loadMovie( “movie_to_load.swf” );
_root.media_clip.gotoAndStop(1);
