Need FLASH files to load last

I have a page which has a table containing 2 cells.
One is the middle one which includes the main stuff etc.
The other (right cell) includes a php file that randomly selects 4 flash files from a folder and makes 4 <OBJECT> elements. These flash files are just ads and need to given last priority
But unfortunately the middle cell contains site related pictures and it starts loading only AFTER the flash ads are fully loaded.
I obviously dont want this to get more priority but flash is taking it.
Im not using frames or iframe. Is there is a solution without the use of iframe or frames ?

Make a 10-second flash file that displays 'loading' and then goes off to load the 'real' flash files?

Oh no. You see - I dont make flash files. I just need to make the page. The site will have an admin part where the admin can upload any flash file that he wants to. So I have to do this in the php/html part.

Can you dynamically change the flash file via javascript? if so do it using onLoad in the body section of the HTML.

how about having javascript (using a timer) write the flash object code into the page onload?
