Thanks for that Paul - I'm trying to see what's the best solution in our
case, yours or Simon's.

Simon, you mentioned a .fla file - would you be able to post that to me
please?

Thanks guys :-)

Hi Roger

I'd use Flash to handle the load as it's easy to set up and you can
control the flash movies while the loading is going on.

load the first one and play it then load the other, off stage or
somewhere discrete then when it's loaded, at a suitable point in the
first animation swap over the clips

it might depend on the size and types of the clips but I do a lot of off

stage loading of images while one is being shown and don't have any
probs with it

Paul
