say I have a sound

say I have a button

when the mouse rolls off the button, I want a sound to play. There is no state of the button called “Out”

so I use the actionscript command:

on (rollOut) {}

but how do I call for the sound to play?  
(someone had provided me with a sound tutorial, but it was only for flash mx)

That tut is for MX. some stuff may work for flash 5, but I don’t want to mess up something trying to figure it out.

Thanks for the link though

the thing is, the first part of that tut tells you to export sounds to actionscript. That option is not available in flash 5 from the linkage box.

that I know of.
