thanks
you didnt really help, but because i saw this and was tinkering with my flash i found the problem.
I kept trying to put a sound effect in a frame that was one segment long, and it kept getting cut short. I now see that you can make one frame go a long way... Yah i feel dumb. My skills right now are very basic i can do simple as2 programming like stop() and goto next frame yadayada THANKs For Nothing!!!
