I don’t know if this is normal - On my ongoing project atm I’m adding sound effects to spice it up a little. Thing is - when I add the sound on the timeline on a separate layer and then preview the swf/html to see if it works… well it does work but the sound starts working about 50 frames **earlier** , And my face becomes a total question mark.

I mean this has never happened to me before. I’ve checked if I didn’t put a anchor on another frame. Or some sort of script. Nothing. Can anyone explain this? I would appreciate it a lot!

Thanks.
