hi

I'm a having problem with movieclip loading and getting flash to wait for externally loaded clips to load before using them.

timeline:

animholder-- mc
projectholder --mc

other static instances

---

movie starts and loads an external clip into animholder

then on a user button action a load movie call is
initiatd with:

Set Variable: "movieloaded" = false
Load Movie (loadmovieid&".swf", "/projectholder")

this then supposedly loops with the animation going while the loadmovie action is going on:

If (("movieloaded"=false) and (GetProperty ("/projectholder", _framesloaded) = GetProperty ("/projectholder", _totalframes)))
Set Variable: "movieloaded" = true
Go to and Play ("loaded")
Set Property ("animholder", Visibility) = false
Else
Go to Previous Frame
Play
End If

I'm assuming this should work (especially as I copied the if part from the mm print movie demo. but it dosent, it goes directly to frame "loaded" and then loads the clip
why is this?
I'm using this method in several places and it always dosent wait.
