Hi Russ, A Transform object isn't a full Pan. There's a separate command for that,
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary666.html ( bear in mind what that page says about how it works ) The choice whether to embed or stream, is entirely yours. Enbed: .sound myMp3 "my_sound.mp3" then use, attachSound() with the id name to use the sound. Stream this way, var snd=new Sound(); snd.loadSound("my_sound.mp3", True); All the sound commands ( for basic AS2 ) are here, http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary654.html I've confused the heck out of both of us, writing those examples on the fly. I should put some order into them then, then do as originally suggested.. post them to the wiki. Regards, Chris.
