kGlad:
I appreciate the help, but continue to struggle with fully understanding the application of this snd.close(); to my multi CD and xml songlist site. I still seem to be suffering the load lags despite introducing the snd.close(); code. I thought I might see no song load lags on the CD stop where this code was introduced, but still have lags on the other CD stops that haven't added snd.close code, but there are still lags even on the doced CD stop.
I am thinking each CD stop will require a unique version of the snd.close(); code or does this coding on the first CD stop direct all similar occurrences within the .swf.
OR
If the viewer chooses anything other than CD 1 (the stop where the snd.close(): code is placed) as their initial choice, is the code not yet active - therefore requiring additional variables for var loading:boolean; such as adding "var loading2:boolean", "var loading3:boolean;,...etc. as well as multiple definitions of var snd=Sound - "var snd2=Sound2.
Here's CD stop #2's code:
stop();

Hope you can guide me further.
