hey guys, im creating a flash mp3 site where visitors can listen to various mp3s.  
on the root page i have several buttons, one button says “music” which will load a swf entitled “music.swf”

once there, i have a list of songs that are displayed, each song title is a button. on clicking the button i’m attempting to have that respective mp3 load dynamically.

so far i can get the music to load, but my problem is with the preloader.

now i’ve been to kenney [bellew.com](http://bellew.com) and im using most of that tutorial for the as, but my problem seems to be getting a preloader for the audio to work in a loaded movie.  
my guess is that it has something to do with \_root or \_parent or something, but i was wondering if anyone out there has some advice on the as i would need for this preloader.

any help is greatly appreciated.
