I am trying to open an mp3 file on my flash animation, but it doesn’t work on either my machine or my server. When I run my flash animation this is the error I get: Error opening URL “file:///C|/source/bird.mp3”

I have my flash file, media and audio all in the same location. Here’s the actionscript I used:

themeTune = new Sound (soundLoader);  
themeTune.loadSound(“bird.mp3”, true);
