Re: FLASH: Movie Clip Preload - but not play...

[Keith Brown]

The best way to do this is to just put a stop action on the first frame of 

the Movie clip. Then make sure you name it and at any time you can call on 

it to play. You can do this by either a button action or a frame action. 

Hope that helps.
