Hi Dan

Are you embedding your sound, or are you loading it from an external source?

If your loading it externally, you can use:

mySound = new Sound();

mySound.loadSound("http://www.MySite.com/mySong.mp3", true);

var soundLoaded:Number = mySound.getBytesLoaded();
var soundTotal:Number = mySound.getBytesTotal();
soundDLPercent = ((soundLoaded/soundTotal) *100);

at the moment they are embedded, but if it makes it easier, ill have em from an external source, what i need is 2 loading bars, well, actually 3, one displaying the progress of the sound being downloaded, one showing everything else, and one showing overall progress
and if i loaded externally, how would i make it play?

[svenjoypro]

to make the sound start use:
mySound.start();

I don't know how, or if, you can do it if you embed the sound.
