Im working on a site and can’t seem to get the code to work in my favor…

When I use attachSound with the .mp3 in the library, no problem, but the download time is way to long using this code:

on (press) {  
\_root.s = new Sound();  
\_root.s.stop()  
\_root.s.attachSound(“DualingBanjos”);  
\_root.s.start();  
}

I’d like to call up each mp3 file from an external folder using something like this, but not having any luck:

on (press) {  
my\_sound.loadSound(“[http://www.mountainland4u.com/music/ContryRoads](http://www.mountainland4u.com/music/ContryRoads)”, true);

}

Any **HELP** would be highly appreciated???..

Thanks,

Sean
