    preloading external SWFs

    SlickRik Community Member
      I have a slight problem.
      In AS3 i am using the Loader class to load in multiple external SWFs (AVM1), each of which has a short animation which automatically plays when the swf is
      I obviously cannot control the timeline of these (i can't use local connection etc) but would like to load in the *.swf files, so they're in memory then add them to the stage when requested.
      the problem is that if i load them enmass. then use addChild when they are called, they have already played through and animated pre the addChild command.

      Can anyone suggest how i can get around this or what i'm missing.
      (I cannot edit the swfs at all, and would rather not load them on demand at runtime)

      regards, Rich
