preLoadMovie()
-- Lingo syntax _movie.preLoadMovie(stringMovieName) // JavaScript syntax _movie.preLoadMovie(stringMovieName);

To preload cast members from a URL, use preloadNetThing() to load the cast members directly into the cache, or use downloadNetThing() to load a movie on a local disk from which you can load the movie into memory and minimize downloading time.
stringMovieName Required. A string that specifies the name of the movie to preload.
This statement preloads the movie Introduction, which is located in the same folder as the current movie:
