well for the sound try converting the sounds to wav. and then if you have windows to open the sounds in Windows Sound Recorder. Then you could do whatever you want to the sound.
The way you make a preloader is that you make a movie clip number it with 100 frames, make first frame of the movie clip have a "stop" command. then go to your current scene and add this script to the movie clip:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framesLoaded = (Math.ceil (( _parent._framesloaded / _parent._totalframes) * 100));
gotoAndStop (framesLoaded);
info.text = framesLoaded + "% completed";
if (framesLoaded >= 90) {
_root.gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}

and do whatever animation between the 100 frames

O yeah, one of the ways to import a sound into a movie by going to file/open as library, select "all files" from the "file type" drop-down menu, and select your sound file. Then, drag the sound from the window that pops up to your library, and then drag the sound from the library to whatever frame you want the sound to stay on. If you want the sound to repeat, go to the sound panel of the frame, and adjust the value for loops.

Use the simple voice recorder and make it record the sounds coming from your mic. If you want to compress the music or sounds, I think maybe you can go to the sound's properties and compression, and then select one of the options in the menu.

where do you get this voice recorder program?

[DutchClock]

The voice recorder is a standard on every windows system, you can find it on your own comp! Somewhere in the the area in the startmenu where you find all the entertainment applications. I have a Dutch interface, so I dunno how it's all called in english.

actually, flashkit is a website. It is either flashkit.com, org, or net.. Sorry for not providing a link i am too lazy. This website provides pretty good tutorials, music, etc..The only problem is those dam pop-ups!

to put a sound in flash, go to file, import, select the sound frile, open, then go to the frame u want it to come in, go to properties, sound, select the sound, its there, to stop the sound, select by sync, select stop. yea, your done with that. and, if u really want to know how to make a preloader, look at the topic "look at this" posted by fargate, it should be on page 2, hope that helped because i am tired of answering questions, but i am addicted to ng forum so i must answer questions. damnit, i think i should take my pills now.
