Believe it or not, it gets even weirder!
I managed to get he music to play by removing one track from the timeline and loading it with a loadSound(). It works fine as a stand alone, but when loaded with loadMovie, the sound can’t be heard unless, get this, the mouse rolls over a button! Any button. No relation to the sound whatsoever. Then the sound plays for about a second before stopping.
I think my fla must have become corrupted somehow. Is there a way to uncorrupt flas?
Someone, please help, or at least send the men in white coats to come and take me away.
btw - the sound works when the preloader is run from within the flash IDE, but the scrollpanes are still messed up. Ugh.
