Hello,  
I have a problem with preloading when I have a sound object in my movie. The preloader works fine with out the sound object, but once I have included it, the preloader appears blank. I have tried to look for solutions on the web, but I can’t seem to find any, maybe I am searching for wrong key words? Thanks in advance!! (^\_^)

I imported the music file (mp3) into my library and using attachSound() to play the song. Thanks again! It seems like flash is loading the sound file before loading any of the graphics.

create a dummy frame between the preloader and the main movie and drag an instance of your sound to this.(never goes to this frame).  
in the library, untick export in first frame.
