Hey guys!

I have placed my sound on level 99, so my sound constantly plays in the background.

Im wondering if there is a way i can create a preloader for this sound?

These sounds are external swf’s!

I hope you understand what i mean!

😛

Hang on i just thought of sumpin, is it the same way you do a preloader for an external swf??  
or is it diffrent?

Coz if it is, i now how to do it!!

should be ok. If you’re loading them you should be able to gain the methods getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() on them. Just do it the same way you do others.
