on one html page i have two separate swf files loaded into separate areas on the interface. one of them is a menu bar with sounds attached to animated rollover buttons. the other is a simple soundloop play/stop panel. here’s the problem: when the ambient music is playing, there is a significant pause before the rollover sounds are triggered by the Over event; when the ambient music is stopped, the sounds play as soon as the cursor moves over the button, as they should.  
i just tried putting the ambient into the menu swf, and the delay is still prominent. i’ve checked other flash sites, including [2advanced.com](http://2advanced.com) and theirs too has the pause when music is playing. this makes me think there’s no solution. but i’m asking anyway.

is there any way to avoid the delay?
