I have been at this for days and can’t get it to work. Someone HELP!

I am trying to play an audio file. It’s as simple as that, however, I do not want to reference the url of audio in the Flash action scripting. I want to be able to change the url of audio in the parameters of the flash .swf in the html coding.

Here is what I have so far…

_ **THE HTML:** _

\<script language=“JavaScript” type=“text/javascript”\>

\</object\>

_ **THE ACTION SCRIPTING:** _

var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.sermURL);  
var sound:Sound = new Sound();  
sound.load(soundReq);  
sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);  
function onComplete(event:Event):void  
{  
newRoot.gotoAndPlay(“loaded”);  
}

Can someone help me make this work?
