loadmovie barging into level 0

[PantherRun]

Hey out there;
I'm the guy that found out flash crashes after 16000 frames, so now I'm splitting the movie into 4 movies, and am finding i'm opening up a can of worms.
First issue I'd like to ask your help on- my books say nothing, can't find tutorials, on and on...
Base movie is level 0. I wanted to make the viewing experiance seamless even though it's now 4 movies instad of 1. So i thought i'd put some script along the base movie, telling it to loadmovie 1 ect, (preloading it in a sense, instead of attaching it to say a button at the end of the base movie). I assumed that loadmovie 1 would load in AFTER base movie had finished playing - well you know what happened - level 1 movie barges right in on top of base movie and starts blathering on.
Any way to make load movie...
A) preload
B) and then wait its turn

Yes! It's possible.
Was this for a projector file?

Thanks for responding, sorry for the delay getting back - had to read up on projector...
No, don't plan on using a projector as far as i can understand it, just going to have everyone download the flash player to play what I'm making.
If i can, let me just expand on this problem of mine... Basically i'm making a page of text and images, hit a button, go to another page of text and image, hit the back button and go back to the page you just read - like a magazine.
So not only do i need to have the movies load in order (again preferably preload(as opposed to having the forward button trigger the load and thus the assumed wait, but the reader may decide to hit the back button to reread the last page AND that last page may be the last page of the earlier movie that they previously loaded - in fact the reader may just go backward through the whole movie. So is this possible as well?
Now after saying all that, since this feels like a can of worms, i'm wondering if there is a simpler way to do all this? Oldnewbie, what takes up many of the 16000 frames is the VOs that i have streaming on each page - perhapes instead of loading a whole movie, i should rip out just the VOs annd make each a load movie, leaving all the text and image "movement" alone in the root file. Would this be a wiser direction?

How about putting the VO's in movie clips?
Must I assume you have them set "streaming" because the user may want to stop the movie, and you want the sound to stop as well of course, and pick up where it left off?

Movie clip - great idea, read up on it and how to control it from the root, it should do the trick.
And yes on the streaming, when the reader decides to jump forward or back from the pages i need the VO to stop immediately and not bother the other VOs. (The soundtrack behind the VOs i'm using as an Event sound, for it's not page specific.)

ANd now that you have me thinking in movie clip mode, i'm wondering if i should shove the soundtrack into one as well?
Any reason why i wouldn't want to put an Event sound in a movie clip?

As always, thanks for the help.
