How to Load a SWF in Dynamically Loaded HTML

Hello,

I have a Flash movie with a multi-line text field that loads HTML text. As per the below Macromedia documentation I have swfs as images inside my HTML text.

I'm trying to find a way to pre-load these swfs - if I do loadmovie to load the swf, when the html file is loaded will it need to reload the swf from scratch or will it take my loaded version? I'd love to show a "loading" message in the text as the swf was loading but am unsure how to do this now that I have the swf reference embedded in the html text.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

From the Macromedia documentation:

Image tag (<img>
The <img> tag lets you embed external JPEG files, SWF files, and movie clips inside text fields. The <img> tag has one required attribute, src, which specifies the path to a JPEG file, a SWF file, or the linkage identifier of a movie clip symbol.
