So i was wondering if there was anyway to have background music playing and
then have a sound play without stoping the music. Is there anyway to do this?

If I recall, if the sounds are embedded, only one can be played at a time.
Hence, you will need to have one of the sound files linked instead of
embedded.

For instance, you can have either both the music and sound effect linked, OR,
have the music embedded while the sound effect is linked.

I think effect sound and background music simultaneously is applicable.
Because they're under different settings. More about my article of "Play
Music Thru Presentation" at

I don't see how the link helps. Care to explain more?

I'm sorry. My article about "Music thru presentation" just show some general
ways to add music settings. Follow these settings guide, you can make
different sound from effect sound or background music. That's my solution.
