That's true... because such clips can be called at any time, they need to

be available when the movie starts.


(Any attachable clips need to have their linkage set to "export", and are

included in the SWF regardless of whether they appear in the timeline. Such

assets are loaded at the front of the file so they're available at any

time.)


I'm not sure of the best way to approach that particular project, but what

you're describing is definitely the case, true.
