loadMovieNum problems

[dancingmonkey]

I'm having a problem loading an external swf. I wanted to use it as a transition. I have this: (just to give idea, syntax not correct)

on (release)
loadmovienum "clapboard.swf,2)
gotoandplay (scene 2, 1)

So I want clapboard to play up front while the change is made from scene one to scene two. That way, clapboard.swf blocks the changing background. But for some reason, once the button is clicked, it goes to scene two, and then loads the movie. What am i doing wrong?

just try changing sequence

on (release)
gotoandplay (scene 2, 1)
loadmovienum "clapboard.swf,2)

I tried that but it's a no go. Scene2 always loads before the movie. I want the movie to load first. Hmmmm.

Well, I think the Movie is loading while Flash jumps to scene2.
So, before the movie is completly loaded, you are in scene2.
Try to handle this with ifframesloaded or just with a break
