That makes sense, though, right? Anything you load is going to take as
long as it takes.

Sounds like a plan. :)

Where they're nested makes no difference. That should be an
encouragement. :) A movie clip is a movie clip, no matter where it's
located. Every movie clip in your SWF is an instance of the MovieClip
class. As such, you can look up the "MovieClip class" entry in the
ActionScript Language Reference to see what features are available to that
clip. (Classes define objects like a recipe defines a cake. In this case,
your object is a movie clip.) Things the object can do are listed under
Methods; characteristics it has are listed under Properties; things it can
react to are listed under Events.

That said, do you know how to repload non-nested clips?

Ok, here's the deal..
I have a movie that dynamically loads other external movie clips using
loadMovie(), but I'm getting a delay.. the external clips are 'popping' into
the main movie later than they should. Obviously I need to preload these
somehow? But some of them are clips within clips. How can I load these at the
very start?
