Sound question (should be easier than this)

[wenbri]

I'm trying to put a section on my homepage that has 4-5 different songs (all in MP3) to choose to hear. I do not want to wait for them all to pre-load and I don't want them to auto start (i.e. streaming). When a user clicks a button I'd like the appropriate song to begin streaming and/or I'd like to have the sound files loading in the background while the user may be navigation elsewhere. Any ideas?

you could make separate swf files for the audio tracks.

you can include a preloader for each, to make sure that each is downloaded b4 allowing the user to play them.

Adding a stop action to the first frame will prevent the audio from playing (streaming), but include a play button to start playing.

u can control all the tracks from your main movie, so the play button doesn't have to be in each file.

Hope this helps

Wayne, quick question -

when I preload my sound, is it okay if I put it in one frame or is it best to place it in enough frames to accommodate it? I presume it's okay in one frame, set to event (then a stop sound action to mute it).

Thanks
