[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Hi

I have linked a sound clip from the library to a button so when the button is pressed you can hear the sound; this was done using ActionScript and the linkage property. The problem I have is because the movie I have created has a pre-loader I don’t want the sound to be loaded into the first frame.

What I would like to know is how do I link to this sound so it can be heard without having to load it into the first frame?

This is the code that I currently have -

// Egg1 Btn sound effect//  
egg1\_btn.onPress = function() {  
song = new Sound();  
song.attachSound(“Egg\_Crack”);  
song.start(0, 0);  
};  
// End//[/SIZE][/FONT]
