Hello all, sometimes (about 1 out of 6 times) the mp3 I’m trying to load dynamically seems to load twice when my audioplayer .swf loads in-page, which produces an echo delay effect . This also renders the audio controls useless (it only seems to stop one of the loaded tracks).

I suppose maybe I could eliminate this problem if creating a movieclip from scratch but I suppose that’s another tutorial…

I’m loading the sound “\_root.myContainer. **myMusic** ” into a clip offstage “\_root.myContainer”.

Any AS that can make sure only one instance of the mp3 is loaded into the clip? Here’s a link to the page: [Link](http://www.bhennies.com)

I’m not at home right now but will post the exact actionscript or the .fla if necessary when I get home.

Thanks
