okay i was testing my file locally instead of directly from milkbeep.com and i was having the same thing. then i loaded it directly from the page when i found out that new flash versions cannot access locally and simultaneously connect to a network for security reasons. it works fine over here when i load it from the .com, so it leads me to believe that for some reason it's being accessed locally on your computer. so i'm thinking the best fix is that instead of having just track time and stuff on the mp3 text, i will have full url text so that if someone wants an mp3 and the button doesn't work they can type in the url for the mp3 itself. that's the simple fix but i'll still work on html windows for the releases cause i wanted to do that anyway... just putting it off
