Not sure what you mean  by a loader movie. Do you mean a preload sequence

within a movie? A movie clip? Please clarify.


When Flash exports to .swf, it includes only those symbols that are

actually used. When the movie downloads over the web to a user's machine,

it downloads as fast as the internet connection will allow, and plays back

at the rate set by the movie (or a slower rate if the computer isn't fast

enough). It stops if it plays to a point that hasn't downloaded yet. Given

enough preload time, it will download the entire movie contents to cache.

This may answer your question.
