I am trying to load an external mp3 and have it start playing on frame 430 of my movie. The code I’ve tried either starts playing the mp3 right away or not at all. Here is what I’m working with:

[indent]onClipEvent (load) {

// sets up a sound object  
faTrack = new Sound();  
// load the external sound  
faTrack.loadSound(“intro.mp3”, true);  
// play the sound  
faTrack.start(430);  
}

[/indent]After using this code it started the movie right after the sound was loaded. What is the proper method to make this work?
