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);
