Hi,

Is there anyway to play an audio file that is embedded in the swf that I am creating using the mediaPlayBack component. The reason I want to use the mediaPlayBack component is because it has the timer/progress bar showing how much of the file has already played. Currently im using this to play the audio file.

play.onRelease = function () {  
s = new Sound();  
s.attachSound(“audio”); //in the green, put the sound linkage id  
s.start(0,1);  
}  
stop.onRelease = function () {  
s.stop();  
}

But I dont know how to expanded upon his to include a timer/progress bar. Im not very good with actionscript. I can’t seem to find any tutorials that show how to create a timer/progress bar for any audio that uses “attachSound”. If someone can help me out with this I would really appreicate it.

Thank you,
