preloading external swf files with actionscript as2

Question

hi everyone, i'm relatively new with flash, so...

i've been looking into this for 2 days now,
so i hope someone can help me out.

i have several external swf files, each one can
call any of them.

say i'm in home.swf and i clicked about.swf, i
want to stay in home.swf whilst about.swf is being
loaded so i don't have an empty screen. they are
both external swf files, hold by a main container.

my actionscript is in 2.0 and i know it has something
to do with "onLoadComplete" before
"loadMovie ("about.swf", "_root.content");"
but i just don't know how to write this bit of code.

please please help me!!!! i really appreciate your time

thank you luka. i have already read this, but it doesn't tell me how to load another swf before going to it. i think i need a tutorial about onLoadComplete but haven't found a good one yet.

thanks anyways!!!
