cast members are loaded based on their position as sprites in the score.
first frames first.
preload member commands don't work. preload frame commands do.
so put those castmembers in the first few frames of your movie, in the
order you need them. if you don't want them visible, just put them
offstage, eg. point(-100, -100), but put them in there anyway. then
preload the frames you need.
then loop in a single frame until the members are loaded. there are lots
of examples of doing this sort of thing in shockwave, mostly for network
calls like getNetText.
you can also set shockwave to load everything before it plays at all...
