Alright, so Macromedia says Flash can’t really loop mp3s seamlessly, and suggests importing WAV files. But if you’re using AS to load an external sound at runtime, this is not possible. So I ask you, coding geniuses, is there a work-around to the silence that Flash adds to the beginning (end?) of an mp3 file, thus causing it to loop incorrectly (I’ve already tried adding a decimal to the secondsOffset and it sounds awful).  
Thanks in advance.
