I want the sounds to be loaded on demand and then play the music clip. I have a loading bar that I want to show the progress.  
on (press) {

\_root.loadBar2.\_xscale = \_root.getBytesLoaded()/\_root.getBytesTotal()\*100;  
if (\_root.loadBar2.xscale == 100){  
var spSound = new Sound();  
spSound.attachSound(“cool 1”);  
spSound.start(0, 99);  
}

this is the code Im using can any one just tellme the best way to do this Im pretty new to flash so if I look like an amatuer thats exactly what I am

many many thanks in advance
