I have some sound loading from an external file, I don’t understand why it takes so long to load… [www.janav.com](http://www.janav.com).  
If you check my website three of the albums have songs…  
album 6,7,8 have sound attached… but when you click you have to wait few seconds for the sound… I want to make my sound to load as fast as  
[www.benwisch.com](http://www.benwisch.com) website.

Any suggestions…?  
I am not using linkage nor action script to load the soung I only used this code …  
on (release) {  
stopAllSounds(); //to stop all previous sound  
loadMovieNum(“PaulinaRubio\_Paulatina.swf”, 2); // to load the picture first  
loadMovieNum(“music/paulina\_music.swf”,3); // to load the sound after the picture…

}

should I being using action scripts instead (like the kirupa tutorial), will this load very fast.

One more thing, the song is like 2 megabytes… should I use part of the song and then loop it.??/

Any suggestions will be appreciated…

Thanks,

Jana
