The principle is to "park" the loaded movie, then call as required.


Put a "Stop" action in  Frame 1 of the movie you wish to load

Label Frame 1 as "Park" 

[movie can now be loaded, but will not play]


When you want to Play (your get URL Script)

Call this .swf with Go to and Play Frame 2 (or whichever)
