Beware that the order in which things are executed
isn't the same order as they are in code. This is what
happens:

* loadMovie places request to download and play .swf
* you initialise the object which isn't ready yet
... some time later, next frame at the earliest...
* the movie is loaded, overwrites everything in the
object with its own code, then starts playing

So even if you swapped the loadMovie and the init
code, the init code will still be destroyed.

It is a pain. There is no childclip.onLoad property,
and even if there was, when the child clip loads, its
own values overwrite the callback function anyway.

I've used a crude solution in the past, which is
basically:

------

in parent clip:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip('foo', 2);
_root.foo.loadMovie('http://blah/child.swf', 'GET');
_root.foo_is_loaded = false;
_root.onEnterFrame = function () {
    if (_root.foo_is_loaded) {
        /* init code */
    }
};

------

in child.swf:

_root.foo_is_loaded = true;

------

Does this help?
