I’m trying to load an swf movie clip into an invisible mc, but it won’t go invisible. I want it invisible so it loads quietly, then I can make it visible later, and it’s already loaded. I can’t believe this is this hard for me…seems like I’m overlooking something simple. Here’s my code:

```php

setProperty("sub01", _visible, 0);
loadMovie("int_websites.swf", "sub01");

```

What am I doing wrong? I tried reversing the two, but to no avail.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  
Dan
