Is there a reason to load it into a hidden frame other that just to get
it to play?
If now, in the movie with the links to songs, but a MC on your main
timeline - call it something like audio_holder, then instead of loading
the swf into a new frame, say:
_root['audio_holder'].loadMovie('my_song.swf');
Funny that you want to do this though: that the browser doesn't always
automatically let the user know what's going on in the status bar is in
my opinion one of Flash's drawbacks ...
