I am working on a site at the moment that is made up of 5 scenes. I have not
considered this problem during my site design planning stage and don't want to
have to redesign the whole site now that I'm almost done.

I would like to include sound on the site. I call the sound.swf to the
main.swf using a movie clip speakers_mc. Because I have 5 scenes I had to add
the movie clip to each scene with the following actionscript

speakers_mc.loadMovie("sounds.swf",1);

This is causing a problem because everytime you move to a new scene the
current sound file is interrupted and starts all over again because I presume
that the sound swf is reloaded everytime I change scenes.

How can I can the sound to play continuously while I jump between scenes?

Somebody suggested to use layered scenes. How do you do that?

Thanks

Save your sound file (mp3) in the same directory as the fla.Then, on the first
frame of your movie, add:

if(!my_snd){
my_snd = new Sound();
my_snd.onLoad = function(s){
if(!s){
trace("Unable to load your sound file!");
}else{
this.onSoundComplete = function(){
this.start(0);
}
this.start();
}
}
my_snd.loadSound("whateverthefileis.mp3");
