simple load movie problem??

[Berni29]

I have a main movie with several buttons, that loads seperate swf's using load movie. The problem is that I want one of these external swf's to play as soon as the main movie loads and not only on a mouse action. How do I do this?

Many thanks

If you don't have a stop(); action on the first frame of that movie, it should start playing as soon as it's loaded. Do you have preloaders on those movies? Loading on levels or in container clips? Regards,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

The main movie starts to play straight away. The thing is that I want one of the (external) swf files to play as soon as the main movie starts. The action that I use on the buttons to load the swf's is on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("assets/flash/kit.swf", 1);
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
but untill you hit a button nothing plays. I know that I could put the movie that I want to play first into the main movie as a clip, but if I have the external movies waiting, whay can I not call one of those to play "on load" as it were.

The movies do have preloaders.

If you go to

you will see what I mean (I hope!).

The idea is that the "kit" movie plys as soon as the html page loads.

Many thanks
