    SWFs load entirely before they start to play.

    Trying to find a tutorial too..

    False

    SWFs load and they start playing right away, that is why you can use the ifFrameisLoaded command to see if a certain frame is loaded or check how many bites are loaded before letting the file play.

    False,

    ifFrameLoaded was deprecated
    in Flash 5, it was already superceded by
    the _framesLoaded property in Flash 4.

    Recommended in reality is only the use of getBytesLoaded which is much more accurate.

    And of course since FlashMX2004 the MovieClipLoader Class.
