Ali,
You need to set the visible _after the clip has loaded_ - because a
load replaces a bunch of properties on a MovieClip, including
_visible. Take a look at the MovieClipLoader class, which dispatches a
callback called onComplete when the clip is loaded.
An alternative is to create a parent container for the loading clip,
and set that parent _visible=false;
HTH,
Ian
