setInterval to delay movie from loading on first frame

[meylo]

I'm pulling in a external .swf but I don't want it to load on the first frame... I'd like to delay it using setInterval... this is what I have so far

var ad_container_mc = outer_container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("ad", outer_container_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
ad_container_mc._x = 600;
ad_container_mc._y = 30;
ad_container_mc.loadMovie("ad.swf",ad_container_mc );

any thoughts?

umm... wrap the loadMovie() action in a function and usesetInterval()?


maybe something like this:

var pauseTimer = setInterval(pauseLoad, 2000);

function pauseLoad(){
        var ad_container_mc = outer_container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("ad", outer_container_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
        ad_container_mc._x = 600;
        ad_container_mc._y = 30;
    ad_container_mc.loadMovie("ad.swf");
    clearInterval(pauseTimer);
}
