I’m working with the following in Flash 8:

1. A main SWF movie with 7 scenes and 1 scene is called Audio On the Audio scene I am loading 11 swf files for the individual songs in buttons.
2. An SWF bunch of SWFs over 1mb each which are 30 sec mps songs,

However, I need to get a preloader for each of the external swfs.

Attached is a link to a preloader example I found and started to modify. [http://www.yessirrecords.com/flash/preloaderfile.zip](http://www.yessirrecords.com/flash/preloaderfile.zip)

song file [http://www.yessirrecords.com/flash/song1.zip](http://www.yessirrecords.com/flash/song1.zip)

Button Action Script

on (press) {  
stopAllSounds();  
}  
on (release) {  
Sound;  
}

I am just trying to get the preloader to work with the home scene of the movie.

The problem I have is the song buttons don’t all appear on the home scene so I can’t figure out why the preloader isn’t loading everything then goes to the home scene…

Any help would be appreciated!
