Hi,  
My movie (the first scene) is about 50 kb large. Now I want to add a sound loop (100kb). How can i let the preloader load till 50 kb, play the first scene and then whenever the sound-loop is loded it plays. So i dont have to wait till the movie and sound is loaded. (SO basicly the loader will load till 50 kb–\> the first scene plays—\> the sound is loading in the background----\> when the sound is loaded it plays)

thnx

I already tried : if frame is loaded. But the preloader load both the movie and the sound in the same time

You might consider a conditional loop using getBytesLoaded() and/or getBytesTotal()

e.g.

if (\_getBytesLoaded\>=50000) {  
play();  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay(\_currentframe-1);  
}
