Hello all!  
I’m having a problem and am hoping maybe someone can help.  
I’m working on a site for a client where a loop will play when a word is clicked.  
There are 3 words, and 3 loops. These sounds need to be loaded externally for quality  
and maintenance (client wants to occasionally switch the loops).

There isn’t much of a concern about the size of each sound, but they all need to be loaded and available when the main movie, and the 3 words appear (the loops are intended to overlap). I have most of this figured out except for the preloading.

I have followed all the the pertinent “[www.kennybellew.com](http://www.kennybellew.com)” tutorials, but i can’t get all of the files to preload as one, using one percentage or bar preloader.

Any help is appreciated.:puzzled:  
Thanks!
