Hi there,  
I am working on a presentation that would be projected from a laptop (pentium III).  
I got 3 button on the stage, quit ( fscommand) play and pause. fine.  
I am having problems whit the mp3 inserted right on the first frame of the timeline, it’s very heavy ( 5 MB ) and even if something not x the web i would like to find a way or a publishing setting to be able to stream good sound cutting down the total size of the final swf.  
another problem is that my mp3s are longer than i need, i was thinking to use “s.setVolume” ( still don’t know how) just to fade out when i want.  
I will have one main.swf ( full of pics around 10/12 MB) and 4 ext swf, each with his own soundtrack.  
My questions:  
There is any setting or streaming way to play music ( good quality) and be able to pause ( music and animation ) and start without having troubles.

Ps= the all sfwS will be played in front of many many people ( France) and I need to be 100 % sure of the good results.  
Any tips ( also for presentaction / projection ) are welcome.  
thanks 2 all.;(
