I haven't checked them all out but one of them is where I learned how to do it - can't remeber which one!

The only way I know how to do this is to place all your stuff (images, symbols etc.) onto a frame, then use the isFrameLoaded() action earlier in the timeline to test if that frame is loaded. Keep looping your animation until that command returns true. Note that you should make sure that the playhead never gets to the test frame to see all your stuff!

Are there any other methods of doing this out there?
