Loading a movie with two swf files

[ctomlin12]

I have two flash movies that actually make up one big movie. I was told this is the way to go. One movie is tiny it is around 20K the other is a bear it is around 800K. In my preloader is there anyway to set it up so the small movie starts to play and somehow load the big movie in the background? Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation

What you can do it create a blank movie clip as a target to load the second clip. Create the clip in the first SWF, give it an instance name, and set the visability to FALSE.

Then use loadMovie to load the bigger movie in the target clip which will be invisible. This should begin the loading process while the user does whatever is in the first movie. Then when the second movie is loaded it will have already begun to load.
