Load Movies are independent Web elements and load based on Web

conditions. Any new movie(s) loaded with Load Movie will start loading

while the previous Movie(s) will continue to load. If you want the movie

to load before proceeding then you should be using a Movie Clip.

The Parking method is the standard way to preload Load Movies.

No, but I wouldn't want you to be without some kind of answer :-)

But I could be mistaken.
