Here is the thing: I am loading a swf into another one, where i have a preloader. The problem is that that the loaded movie, starts playing (sound and anim) in the background, before loading is complete (aprox. at 60%). I Have spent many hours on this, and i haven't found a thing that would help. If anyone has any suggestions, please reply cause i busted my head on this. Thank you.

Difficult to say for sure without seeing some code.

I assume you're using the pre-loader to test for load complete on the loaded swf. Are you loading the swf using loadMovie(); or a MovieClipLoader?

Either way, the first and probably patronising question is - do you have a stop(); action on the first frame of the loaded swf?

Yes, i have a stop on the first frame and i load the swf via the loader component. No actionscript. Just edited the component's parameters. The whole thing has 1 frame. The loader is set to autoLoad. I tried using actionscript (looping back and forth through frames till the loading is complete, but with no result). It insists on starting to play the movie in the back from 60%. I can't get it.

Can you get the second .swf to load into a movie clip and put some action like
if (movie clip is loaded) {gotoAndPlay(whatever);
}
else
{continue with preloader}

Just an idea. And I'm not sure of the actual action scrpit commands. That's why it looks like a computer illiterate wrote it
