loading sound outside of the pre-loader?

[Off Top]

Hi folks,

Still using Swish 2.0, is there a way to load music to a swf AFTER the movie is played, but only have the preloader load the movie?

For example, let's say a movie has an intro and then a main page. The intro is 300k, and you want the main page to have some music in the background... you set the preloader to load the movie, but you don't want it to wait until the main page's music is loaded before the intro starts. How would one pull that off?

When an audio track is loaded into swish
it is the first thing that is loaded before a scene.


If your audio is to be loaded in another scene then you
can go to the audio properties and define at scene.

The wise thing would simply be to load the audio into
another swf and load that one into a sprite or level
After the preloader section is done.
Thusly loading sound when loading the loaded movie.

but won't that add to the time it takes to finish preloading?

No
A loaded movie is an external movie.

If you place the external swf after
the preloader. it won't affect the
preloader or the loading of content
in the parent movie.

so the external swf will only be loaded when it's triggered in the movie, correct?
