RE: FLASH: Need Load Movie expert!

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

Another possible work-around is at the end of the audio movie insert a 

keyframe. Put a stop action there. In the same frame, go to frame 

properties->sound and select the sound that's been playing. Set sync type 

to Stop.


As Dave suggests, ensure that you're not inadvertently re-loading the level 

10 movie. Parking it as I suggest should suffice and you don't need to play 

with loading or unloading once it's there.
