Hello all!

I’m trying to make a quick little promo piece for something, whereby a picture of a gravesite is shown while Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata plays. However, rather than import the entire MP3 into the flash movie, I’d like to be able to have it stream from wherever I host it from. How would I go about doing this? What might the coding on that be?

Also, on a similar note, I made the headstone a button… I’d like that when the user’s mouse happens to roll over the headstone, they hear a 1 second clip (which I don’t mind importing). But when I try to add the sound clip to the stage in the Over state on a 2nd layer of the button, it won’t let me…
