    virtual jukebox

    this has probably been asked before, but i want to make a virtual jukebox on my site, but i've run into this problem.

    if different buttons make different songs play, then the first song is still playing while the second one has started, but if i make a 'stop all sounds command' then both songs stop. which makes the whole thing useless.

    any ideas?

    the size of the actual stage in the movie that the song is in.

    also, when i click the button to launch the movie with the song on it, the whole page goes blank.

    size of the sound only SWF does not matter.
    load the SWF into another level not level 0.

    loadMovieNum("urlto.swf",1);

    use stream sync to stream sounds as they download rather than load than load the sound completely before playback.

    click the sound on the timeline, add enough frames to see the entire waveform and choose stream sync.

    does the music play when you test the sound only SWF on its own?

    yes, it plays right away, but when i upload the movies to my site, the streamed one just makes the 'transfering' appear with no sound. i'll try again.

    if you are using MacIE, you may need to place the sound only swf and main swf in the same directory and use a full url to the sound only SWF
