As far as I am aware Neil, Flash offers no control over the

precedence of externally loaded SWF files. The best approach

is probably to load each one in a separate loop, checking for

60 frames to load in the first, then triggering the second Load,

etc... but there is no foolproof way of loading a small chunk

of several files while preventing the entire file from loading

and thus clogging your bandwidth.
