Whats a good way to check if a movie clip has loaded into a browser?

I have lots of small movie clips inside my flash file. I would like to do a prelaoder check to ensure all these movie clips are preloaded before the user can access my website. What is the best way of doing this?

Thanks in advance

Off of the top of my head, I'd say use a normal preloader and just make sure that the last frame loaded is after the frames that include the loaded movie clips. Or load the movie clips in the first few frames and re-use them later.
Hope this helps?

What i presently have are the movie clips interspersed throughout the movie. I am using IFFrameLoaded on pages where movie clips are to progress my preloader. But i have noticed that IFFrameLoaded seems to return a true value only if the frame is loaded and not the movie clips on that page.

So am I doing something wrong? Should I even be making a preloader using ifframeloaded?

Graham?

erm, try putting your entire movie into a single frame on the main timeline then just tell it to wait til that frame is loaded.
works for me, but not particularly professional! :-s
