music clip in preloader

[Ragol1]

I have a pre loader in my site that loops frame 2 and 3 untill site is loaded.

I have added another layer called music and put a sound clip that is about as long as the loading process, but because the preloader loops the sound clip keeps looping frame 2 and 3.
Once the pre loader is done frame 5 starts the movie at which point I want the sound to stop.

please help

you still have that colon above

mysound = new Sound(this);
mysound.loadsound("

http://www.nickdaines.com/jepordy.mp3",true);

mysound.start();

ok i done this and still nothing
in frame 1

mysound = new Sound(this);
mysound.loadsound("

http://www.nickdaines.com/jepordy.mp3",true);

mysound.start();

in frame 5 (which is start of movie)

mysound.stop();

when i do the .attachsound it does work but it plays too quick.

I just give up unless anyone has any other suggestions?
I have tried deleteing the layer and adding the script to an exsisting layer but still nada.


I wish I knew what I was doing wrong... could it have anything to do with my preloader???

here is the code for it

Frame 1 is empty

Frame 2
loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes=Math.ceil (loadedbytes/1024);
totalkbytes=Math.ceil(totalbytes/1024);
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
gotoAndPlay (4);
}
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
tellTarget (_root.loader) {
gotoAndStop (_root.frame);
}

frame 3 and 4
gotoAndPlay(1);


arrrrrrggggg

Thanks for all your help guys.
