  That's the plan. Currently I scan the directory for just the names of
the modules, and store that away. Then later if that gets called from
within a movie, it'll get loaded at that time. Another thing I'm
considering is making *all* the ActionScript classes plugins, which
would reduce the size of the player, and reduce the amount of objects
the VM would have to go through when playing a movie.
