    I was wondering if there is a way to preload a movie while another one is playing. I am wanting to accomplish this for a short intro/movie I am working on which has four separate parts to it. I create a separate movie for each part so that it loads quickly...but I would need the next movie in series to load while playing the one before it. Is there any way to do this?

    U can create a blank movie as a parent.
    Then load part1 in level 4, part 2 in level 3, part 3 in level 2 and part 4 in level 1. Put a stop in the 1st frame of parts 2,3 and 4 with no content in the frame.
    In the last frame of part 1 use:
    _level3.gotoAndPlay(2);
    unloadMovieNum (4);
    Do the same to the rest of them.
    I haven't tried it bu I guess it works.
