Hundred ways to skin a cat, but this is the easiest

(in my opinion). Create a movie clip that says

"please be patient while the movie loads" or whatever

and put that movie clip in the first frame. Put a "if

frame is loaded" action in the first frame and

specify what frame you want to make the movie wait

for (i.e. the last frame or whatever, also make sure

you tell it what frame to go to when it has loaded

that frame (I use labels, not frames, more

reliable)). Then put an action in the second frame of

the movie that says goto frame 1 and you are cooking.

The main movie will loop until the frame you

specified has loaded and when it has loaded, it'll go

there. 


Of course you'll probably get better advise than

mine, but I just wanted to feel like I contributed

something to the list. :-)
