Haia!  
I was just wondering if anyone could recommend the best way to load 5 mp3s into a flash movie.  
I have 5 mp3s that each represent a different instrument and I want to be able to play them together (and the movies that go with them).  
I have a preloader and have put my music on 5 different layers in a movie clip.  
It takes ages to load and the preloader doesn’t appear until it is about 70% loaded. There has got to be a better way to do this!!!  
I’ve tried to LoadSound external mp3s but then they don’t keep in synch with my movie clips.  
I would be grateful for any ideas, or if you could direct me to any useful tutorials!  
Many thanks
