yokey doke, i have a preloader loading the main site into an empty mc…  
i just went to add sounds and it doesnt work - after some fiddling about i found out that this is the cause (the fact that its loaded in rather than being the \_root).

i have 47 lines of code for just 2 sound clips…  
which i dont really wanna add to the preloader as u can imagine…

im thinking its because the sound isnt declared on the \_root timeline…  
can i use the option in the linkage menu “export for runtime sharing” to fix this? if so what do i put as the URL ??

xheers for ne help u mite b able to giv me on the matter…

Prophet.
