i have this ongoing problem that nobody seems to be able to help me with and i’m new to flash:  
i have an swf that is heavily audio based. all of the audio is triggered through actionscript, which means it is linked in the library and to be exported on first frame. this swf is then being loaded into a movie clip (content\_mc) on the \_root timeline. to my knowledge linked audio and components are actually loaded previous to first frame which means that audio loads first then preloader kicks in. and this defeats its purpose 🙂  
How can i get a preloader to be general, working in a movieclip not the \_root, while solving this audio/component loading problem?

cheers
