Dear all,

I am loading an external mp3 which I need for a background sound in a looping mode. The only inconvenience i have is the problem flash has to loop mp3: the transition between the end and the beginning is not smooth, there is a silence between them. Macromedia recommended using “wav” but this format can not be loaded ([http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn\_15854&sliceId=1](http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15854&sliceId=1)).

Do you have a recommendation how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance
