Hello everyone,

First of all, I love this site. Been coming here for several years and always found a solution to my problems… Except for now.

Here’s what I’d like to do. I would like my audio to be in an external file, I’ll call it sction\_a.swf, and then call them from my main file index.swf. I set up the linkage on all of them, created the sound objects in the \_root and they worked fine when starting the sound objects from whithin section\_a.swf.

Thinking that all is well, I tried to call on the sound objects from index.swf and they wouldn’t start. Do I have to start the sounds in a different way? How can I achieve this? Thousand Thanks!!
