I don't think you can ever get away without using a preloader, can you?
You can make sure the embedded clip that starts partway through the main one was actually constructed within the main swf (i.e. it is a movie clip symbol), and is not an external swf. The reason for this, I have found, is that the external swf won't start downloading until it is called from the main timeline, but if it is just an instance of a movie clip symbol, it will load from the very beginning as part of the main timeline and you shouldn't have any breaks playback.
