I haven't needed to do this, but it should work to set the sound to stream.

 Make sure it has enough frames to fully display (graphically) in the

timeline. Animation in the timeline will then occur depending where it is

placed relative to the sound. in other words, something that should happen

when the sound is halfway through, would be placed in a frame above or

below the mid-point of the sound wave as it appears in the timeline.

Something that shouldn't happen until the sound is over would be placed

after the last frame in which the sound wave appears in the timeline. Note

that if the animation cannot keep up with the streaming sound, Flash will

drop frames of animation to force it to keep up.
