Ok. Trying to preload all the sounds, and after loading allow the user to hit keys on their keyboard to make the noise related to the key. But I am stuck. The preloader works but when I hit the key it loads it again. And when I put it on the server the preloader stops working.

```auto

Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";

var letterArr:Array = new Array("A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V"); 
var soundArr:Array = new Array("27328_hello_flowers_Doom_Bug_1.mp3",
                               "27329_hello_flowers_Doom_Bug_2.mp3",
