Why not load it on another level?  The only reason I can think to load into

the main level is to reset the frame rate and/or stage color or to unload

all higher movies in one fell swoop.


To preload the second movie, have it load in another level and have it

start in a parked frame (stop action, nothing visible) until needed.  When

it starts, the main movie can move to its own parked frame if you don't

want it to show.
