Just insert a labeled, blank (no graphics) frame in the movie clip, with a 

Stop action. Use tellTarget to send the movie clip (or movie) to that 

frame. Typically it's labelled "park" and we call this "parking" the movie 

or MC. Then later you can TellTarget it to go to the frame where the 

graphics appear, and the result will be nearly instantaneous rather than 

taking a minimum of several seconds. To clarify on what others have said, 

LoadMovie requires establishing contact with the server. It does not 

require loading a movie that's already present in cache, however; the 

browser should recognize and use the cache version in most or all cases.
