Loading fonts = Movie not responding

Loading fonts = Movie not responding

Seems to be a problem with the initialization on frame 1... Flash must
initalize fonts, classes, components etc. And during that time, a
loaded Flash may not be available.
The workaround I 've found was to put an action on frame 2 (of the
loaded swf) that sets a variable, and have the caller wait for that
variable before doing any actions.

So, at frame 2 of your loaded SWFs:

   var imReady = true;

And in the shell:

   onEnterFrame() {
      if(main.imReady) {
         main.gotoAndPlay( "startApp ");
      }
   }

You could use a loop or a setInterval instead of EnterFrame...
