[FONT=Georgia]Hello… I am still somewhat of a Flash Novice, but I have already built a site. On my site, I would like to be able to have separate play/stop buttons so a visitor could choose which song they would like to play. I would like the mp3s to be loaded only when they click the buttons though, in order to keep the site size as it is. (Eventually, I would like to do the same with jpgs, and I assume it will be a similar process.) Anyway, I’m not sure how to go about loading the mp3s with such a button (presumably a movie type button), and I don’t know if I have to have them as their own swf files or what. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.[/FONT]
