if i pre-load an external swf with something like this:

loadMovieNum("myMov1.swf",1);

Now myMov1.swf is loaded on level1 but cannot be seen.

when I want to actually display it (in my case throw it into a scrollPane)
how should i call it? If i call it by loadScrollContent("myMov1.swf") will that load the 'cached' swf. Or should i be loading it through level1.

I am asking because I read the tute on loading external swf files on flashvacuum and like the idea of getting the "total" size of all necessary
.swf files. But I dont need them all to display until a user selects them from the menu. But I want them preloaded at the beginning for faster loading.

So if i load them like above, and then call the external file will that work?

confused...
