Hi

I am trying to load a swf file by using a loader.

the loader is set to visible = false; until 50% of the swf is loded and once that is done I am setting the visiblity to true.

But the only problem is the loaded swf starts playing automatically and when after loading 50% I set the visibilty to true then half of the movie has already player.

How can I stop a loaded swf from playing atuomatically.?

Thanks in advance
