[SIZE=3][COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Times New Roman]Hello,

I have a sound that plays (about 2-3 seconds long) when I click a button. Clicking the button will load a new swf file. When I comment out the loadMovie command, the sound plays fine on the non-functional button. But when I set the button to load the swf file, I think it just directly loads up the new swf file without playing the sound. How can I make it so that the sound plays first, then the new swf file loads up?[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]
