Hmmm. Not sure why. They may not be preloaded. You could try putting them on the page, hide them, and turn off autostart. It they have a preload option, turn it on. See what happens. I don't have many audio files that I could test it with. I checked it out... The issue is not in the audio files themselves, it's in the actions to stop them. Since they can randomly click audio file, every audio file has about 16 actions. I have to stop playing 78 other audio files and hide 7 other text blocks, THEN play the clicked audio and show the selected text. Since you never know which box they were on before, you can't know which audio file was playing, so I just have to stop and hide everything, rather it was showing or not. So the delay happens in the processing of the actions, not in the playing of the audio.I am not sure of any other way to handle this... Even if I set variables to know which audio files to stop playing, it would still require just as many actions I think. This is one of those situations that I probably just need to get better with Flash for.
