Pre-Loading Separate Flash Movies

Trying to pre-load flash movies in a html page.

[fwdesign]

I am creating a flash web site that uses quite a few photo images in. This, as you know, makes the final flash file huge. I have separated the site into individual pages that load one at a time into an HTML page when called upon.

What I am trying to do is this. When the home pages loads I want to have the other 10+ flash pages loading in the background so that when they do get called upon they come up instantly rather than loading and then playing.

I've tried putting a pre-load function into the head of the html but it doesn't seem to be working properly.

Does any one know how to do the above or a better way of doing it?

why not just call the images in externally with the loadMovie() function?

The image do not need to beembedded in the flash file in fact it makes it far more flexible to call them in from outside.
