Okay I have a simple structure

Level 0 frame which load content ontop of it, say Level 5, now the intro that loads into Level 5 is a simple frame by frame animation sequence, that contains sound set to stream (ie footsteps which wont sync on any other setting), now when I test the movie, all of the frames, barring the first 3 are below the red threshold for 56k modem, however when I test it with SIMULATE DOWNLOAD, the movie stops playing basically until the whole movie is loaded (ie green line extends full way!) then it plays.

Now if I wanted it to wait until it had fully loaded to play I would of been ecstatic at this preload that somehow worked its way in automatically.

What I want is the good old fashioned play frame by frame "streaming" that will stop on a frame if the next frame isn't loaded, but wont wait til the whole movie is loaded before proceeding!!! :mad:

Any idea, it's been so long since I've done timeline based things, I'm clueless.

Regards
