Sounds from an external file/library?

Hi all,

Here’s what I’m trying to do. I’ve created on SWF that is basically a movie player for my little flash animations. It can load (through XML) another SWF which is the animation.

I have it all working fine, except sounds. I’d like to include them in the animation itself, rather than the player, because I want the player to have as small a footprint as possible. I’ve created a sound bank clip in the animations themselves, and they work fine on their own. When I build the animation into a SWF and load it into the player, the sounds don’t play. Tracing through it, I’ve found the sounds are never loaded.

I’ve tried to make the sounds load in the animation, but haven’t had any success.

Anyone done something like this before?

I don’t mind putting the sounds into some kind of external library on their own, and any tips on doing that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks…
