honestly… i doubt that your file will be downloaded being too big. :-\
you should make a new fla and remove everything that has nothing to with the sound thing. 😉

Well, I actually downloaded the file, but when I tried a few things and debuuged it, Flash crashed 3 times and once even my pc rebooted… 😠
Anyway, I can at least tell you that the code on your pause-button should be:
```auto
_root.trackposition = _root.track.position/1000;
```
you were referencing \_root.mySound I believe, which didn’t exist in your movie.
Also set the playing variabele when pressing the ‘play’, ‘pause’ and ‘stop’ buttons.
on your play button you should have something like:
```auto
on(release) {
if(_root.playing == false) {
_root.track.start(_root.trackPosition);
playing = true;
}
}
```
Hope it helps.
