In actionscript, you cannot reference a movie until it is loaded. Code to work around that (for loadmovienum):

function preloadLevel() {
    if (_level5 != undefined) {
        trace("level 5 loaded");
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
    }
}
_root.onEnterFrame = preloadLevel;
loadMovieNum("external.swf", 5); // load something into level 5

Code for XML:

// Create new XML object
SP_XML = new XML();
SP_XML.ignoreWhite = true;
// load the XML data - the gate will take care of the
// location_id, all that jazz.
//SP_XML.load(”/acc/link/loc/view/sp/xml/”);
SP_XML.load(”/main/swf/sample_space_plan.xml”);
// Render the space plan - load the SWF movies and
// arrange them as necessary.
//SP_XML.onLoad = renderSpacePlan;
SP_XML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
space_plan_id = this.firstChild.attributes.id;
trace(”id”+space_plan_id);
// Set array SpEquipment to the equipment arrays.
SpEquipment = this.firstChild.childNodes;
//loadMovieNum(”/acc/link/loc/sp_server/&location_space_plan_id=”+space_plan_id, 0);
//loadMovieNum(”/acc/link/types/symbol_server/&equipment_type_symbol_id=3″,2);
for (var i = 0; i asset_x = SpEquipment[i].attributes.x;
asset_y = SpEquipment[i].attributes.y;
asset_type_id = SpEquipment[i].attributes.asset_type;
j=i+2;
//_root.createEmptyMovieClip("eqp"+j, j);
_root.eqp.duplicateMovieClip("eqp"+j, j);
_root["eqp"+j]._onClic
_root["eqp"+j]._x = asset_x;
_root["eqp"+j]._y = asset_y;
_root["eqp"+j].loadMovie("/acc/link/types/symbol_server/&equipment_type_symbol_id=" + asset_type_id);
//_root["eqp"+j].loadMovie("/main/swf/kiosk.swf");
}
} else {
trace("xml failed to load.");
}
};
_root.eqp.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.eqp, "eqp2", 3);
_root.eqp2._x = 65;
}
};
// this sucks
function preloadLevel() {
//Assuming a loop needs to be run here to evaluate each level load status!
//Definitely want a "Now constructing the space plan... please stand by screen."
if (_level2 != undefined) {
_level2._x = 150;
_level2._y = 125;
_level2._rotation = 45;
newclip = duplicateMovieClip(_level2, blah, 33);
newclip._x = 45;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
_root.onEnterFrame = preloadLevel;
