Dashboard Builder - sequencing the load order of content linked swfs?

Question

Hi,
I don't think this is possible but wanted to throw it out there and see if anybody has some cunning tips on this subject...
We have an InfoView Dashboard that houses 5 Xcelsius modules (swfs). There is a Header Sidebar (swf) that initialises and passes parms to 4 chart modules (swfs) using content linking. Everything works fine and as the selections in the header change, new parms are sent to the swfs which in turn change correctly.
The issue we have is that the business would like everything to initialise with a starting view that contains data. This is not currently done because we cannot guarantee the order that the swfs load in and the 4 chart modules are dependant on the header. The user has to press refresh at the start to trigger the experience once the header has fully loaded.
I'm going to play around with it and will report back with my findings but if anybody has a technique for ensuring child modules are loaded automatically on load AFTER the parent module has gotten its data back and passed the content linked parms, please let me know. Or if there is a way to order (or daisychain) the loading of modules please share this.
Cheers,
Lee

Hi Tracy thanks for your replies.  I found somebody to help me on getacoder.com - this code works perfectly.
The flex code:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function FromSwf1(value:String):void
swfLoader.source = value;
public function FromSwf2(value:String):void
swfTeacher.source = value;
]]>
</mx:Script>
The AS3 code:
var flexApp = root.parent.parent['parentApplication'];
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CallFlexFunction);
//stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown);
function CallFlexFunction(e:MouseEvent) {
flexApp.FromSwf1("assets/ninos/alphabet.swf");
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CallFlexFunction2);
//stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown);
function CallFlexFunction2(e:MouseEvent) {
flexApp.FromSwf2("assets/ninos/clase_de_ninos.swf");
