Multiple SWF's, overlapping multiple mp3's, NEED HELP BAD!

[dave_visual]

Hi,
My worst nightmare came true! I outsourced a project, and to my dismay, they didn't do what I needed them to. Needless to say, I outsourced the project, because my actionscript skills are extremely limited. So I put the project, into what I was hoping, was the hands of a seasoned professional. Now I am in quite a bind. I need some help to figure out the simplest way to do this for a newbie, so any input would be great. I am setting up about 20 seperate swf's that each have their own mp3 that goes along with them. I am creating one parent fla, and importing each of the swfs that I am making into the _root timeline. What I want to happen, is I want the first swf to load, and then while it is playing, have the next loading, so by the time the first one is done, the second one just plays, and is in sync with the audio that is overlayed. The good thing is that audio doesn't come into play until the 3rd swf, so it has time to load, and hopefully play in sync. Isn't this relatively easy to do?
Please check out the file we have setup...and you will see what I am trying to accomplish. www.visualmlm.com/artwork/skip/BIGmaster.htm
these guys have it working all sorts of weird ways, and not what I wanted, nor what the client wanted. Any help would be awesome! thanx....Dave

hey Dave,

I had created a similar jukebox for a flash website of a film.

Same premises: blank movie, which will load swf's containing embedded mp3's.

Herez wot i think needs 2 b done:

1. Create the base swf. Let it load the 1st swf containing the mp3 #1 (or u can use the soundobject to target the mp3 file).

2. U can have the actionscript check for bytesloaded. If more than 50% is loaded, let it load the mp3 #2.

3. Similarly for the next mp3.

4. Once the mp3#1 is 100% loaded, u can have it play.

5. If u use the soundobject property, then u can set the sound.volume of mp3#2, #3 , etc to 0, so even when they load, they won't play.

This is all i could suggest right now. Hope this helps.
