I’ve been using Kenny Bellew’s awsome sound object tutorials, but im stumped on something really simple.

I have a movie with nothing in it but this script on the first frame:  
[AS]  
music = new Sound();  
music.loadSound(“La\_Neige\_Dantans1min.mp3”);  
[/AS]

I hear nothing. The movie is in the same dir as the mp3. It’s a 128kps mp3 i downloaded off [freeplaymusic.com](http://freeplaymusic.com). The only thing i can think of is that there’s something about the file that flash doesn’t like. I have successfully used this very file with attachSound… but i need loadSound.

HELP!!
