preloading swf's

[olympiakos7]

I have 4 swf's that i want to play one after the other.

on the last frame of the first movie i have
stop();
loadMovie("number2.swf","")

this makes it load the new swf, but is there a wey to hold on the final frame until number2.swf is completely loaded before it goes?

Do your movies have preloaders? Are they all of the same size?

[olympiakos7]

they don't have preloaders yet. would this make a difference? i don't want a preloader to appear, just seamless transition from one movie to the next.
they are all the same dimensions and roughly 35k each

If there's no preloader on them with a stop(); action on their first frames, then that means that they'll stream in as they are loading, so you can't delay their playing as you could if they were preloaded (with a stop action on their first frames) and only told to play when they were in fact preloaded.
