If you use the linkage property you MUST export to frame 1 (which in essence is frame 0 before your preloader). I don’t know a way around it, but this option needs to be checked because since you are obviously loading it through AS (otherwise no reason for this to be checked) the object MUST be loaded before your movie uses it. This is Flashes way of assuring this happens. It really sucks! ---

Different questions, different threads, eudora 🙂 That way the serch is easier (even though nobody really uses it). And Lost, you’re wrong about that (fortunately). The thing is, if you don’t export in the first frame, the clip HAS to be put on the scene before it is actually attached. So the comon way is to _manually_ put all the symbols you’re going to attach in the first frame, outside visible part of the scene. pom :love: ---

why nobody uses attachSound and loadSound? i find them extrememly useful to deal with sound objects anyway what if the thing that i am exporting to AS is a sound file? ok i got it to work now after searching the forums 🙂 [http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=6832](http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=6832) ---
