preloading with sound object

[lastingforhours]

how could i preload a sound that im loading with a sound object? id really rather not create a whole other movie clip just to handle preloading for external mp3's. but if thats all i can do... ill do it. but id rather that be my last resort.

ive been told before to take advantage of the "set interval" function in a scenario such as this, but i dont know how to apply it to preloading with a sound object.

am i missing something or is it odd that when loading a sound you cant use "onLoadProgress" but if you load a swf or jpg you CAN? whats so different about a sound file? (thats not my question, just a complaint haha)

Are you loading a "streaming" sound?

If not, then...

yes, streaming sound

Then it's the same link I posted above...

But here's part of that...

The preloader described here will work for event and streaming MP3's. However, it is not logical to build a preloader for a streaming sound, as it will start playing before the preloader reaches 100 percent.
