My animation uses audio that is linked for actionscript. Now if I tick the “Export in first frame” box the audio plays fine, but this causes problems with my preloader because it sits on frame 0 untill it’s loaded 350Kb. If I uncheck the export in first frame box then the preloader loades up fine but the sounds do not play in my animation.

Any advice on fixing this problem?

Cheers.
