Sound Preload??

[ieatbugs]

All my sounds are scripted (linked) in. I need to create a preload that accounts for these so i don't have a dead screen for the user to think it's broken. I cannot load external swf variables because it dosen't give me the sound control i need so it has to be maintained internally.

Any suggestions/comments/ideas?

PS i am using MX and cannot find a command that preloads sound objects.

Thanks for any help

Yes you can control your externally controlled sounds, it's just a matter of using the sound object to create sound controls in your target. Sounds can be controlled locally or globally in Flash. This is one of it's most powerful features.

You'll be better off in the long run by figuring out how to control the sounds with Flash's sound obect(); than with any other method.

Once you have control of the externally loaded sounds, it's just a matter of placing a standard preloader on the front end of the .swf's. If you stream your sounds to a target bit-rate, the sound should start almost immediately without preloading.
