Yes, use a movie clip with a Park frame. Movie Clips (MCs) serve the

same purpose as Load Movie (or is that vice versa), except MCs are

included in the same movie and Load Movies are separate SWF files. Use

Load Movies when the files are large and need to be available in a

random order.


A Park frame is a frame that is empty (or sometimes just without

buttons) that is used to remove that MC or movie loaded with Load movie

to a temporary park position when it is not needed. Thiis is usually

better than to delete and reopen the object.


All the syntax foe Tell Target including Load Movie is covered in detail
