hi everyone!
I just had two questions…first I was loading a sound into my movie by
1. placing the sound in a separate and saving it with a name ex. sound.swf
2. then on my original movie on a new layer I placed an action script in the
first frame…loadmovie(“sound.swif”,1)
but it is not working?
3. I have done this before but I cannot remember if I am missing something!
Now if I am right, once I have the sound loaded in how can I make the
sound stop once the view clicks on to a new scene of my movie?
I have checked creating a sound bar…but that forces a user to manually turn
the sound on and off.
I have checked the tutorial how to load a movie but I don’t want the view to bring in the sound I just want it to play then have the choice of turning it of or
on.
I have also checked the tutorial creating a sound bar but thats not helping me…anyone out there please try to answer my three questions above

Why not just load it dynamically?
Define a sound variable
```auto
music = new Sound();
```
Then give it an address
```auto
music.loadSound("http://www.mywebpage.com/mymp3file.mp3", true);
```
or
```auto
music.loadSound("C:\myfolder\mymp3file.mp3", true);
```
