Using MovieClipLoader to preload images, but not use them yet

Question

Hello,

I'm loading images, whose location are specified in an XML document, using Actionscript-2's MovieClipLoader. I want to place these images in (nested) container movieclips that are placed further down the timeline. The problem is, these container instances cannot be referenced as long as the playhead didn't reach their keyframe. Is there a way I could preload the images, but place them in the document later (when the playhead made it there)?

Thanks!
