loadMovie, _lockroot and Sound

Hello friends,

I have created a preloader that preloads a huge SWF. I am innocent as to it’s size, a grand 7 MBs, all I want to do is this preloader. As there are several _root references in the SWF I placed a _lockroot in the first keyframe of the loaded SWF.

Amongst other things there is a sound_mc, containing a few AS Sound Objects, in my loaded SWF. By some strange reason the sound of the loaded SWF is not audible. I trace the sound object, it’s there, I trace it’s volume; it’s at 60.

When I access the SWF directly I hear the sounds/music.

But still I cannot hear it. Anyone run into a problem like this?

gracias

V.
