Hi

I have a site that loads up some background music. However i need the music to pause whilst the portfolio section loads from an external .swf into a target, (its too slow otherwise) and then start again once it is downloaded, but from where it left off, not the begining. I am currently just using the stop all sounds on the portfolio button as a work around for now.

Many thanks
