Ok im doing a rough draft of a site (very rough so excuse layout colors all still experimental etc)  
Main thing is though my mp3 player , it is aseperate movie which loads into the main one with this code.  
[AS]Mysound = new Sound();  
\_root.button1.onPress = function() {  
Mysound.loadSound(“I\_Used\_To\_Write\_Songs.mp3”, false);  
Mysound.start(0);  
};  
\_root.button2.onPress = function() {  
Mysound.loadSound(“Slavedriver.mp3”, false);  
Mysound.start(0);  
};  
\_root.button3.onPress = function() {  
Mysound.loadSound(“Time\_To\_Buy\_A\_Futon.mp3”, false);  
Mysound.start(0);  
};  
stop();[/AS]  
problem is it works fine when i test the main movie on my computer but when i post the site to my server

Changing all of ‘\_root’ to ‘this’ might work??? 😉

Still doesnt work and i cant understand why??  
When i open the html page from the files on my computer its fine all works but when uploaded the buttons dont seem to work??  
I think it may be a loading problem!!  
how can i create a preloader to display for sound which is loaded dynamically…  
any ideas…
