Hello  
I have a bit of a dilemma,  
I would like some ambient music to play and loop in my main timeline while browsing my site, however I will also have some video clips that will be deployed with SlideShowPro in  
one of my chapter sections.

I would like to have the main timeline audio playing on site load and everywhere else except  
when my MC containing the SSP component is deployed.

then I would like the music to pause and continue when the participant exits the page. (or better yet stopped and started on movie start and stop, but hey I’m not pushy)

any suggestions?

thanks
