i posted this in the nOOb forum but sadly had no reply

i am using flash 5 and recently used this tutorial

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...89/more2.shtml

to produce a pre-loader for my movie, further i have added some sound by importing an external swf with just background music within it.

when my movie loads it doesn't load the external swf which causes the sound to play at the wrong point can some one please inform me on either how to

please note that offline the external .swf loads fine.

modify the existing preloader to include this external file
-or-
to make another scene to preload the external file after the main preloader (preferred option)
-or-
and if it comes to it a seperate preloader altogether that loads external files aswell

i am not worried about losing the kb and % loading updates
£$

any help with this would be great as i am really stuck thanks in advance - barry
