Here you go:

```php
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mySound_mc", 10);
mySound = new Sound(mySound_mc);
mySound.loadSound("soundFile.mp3");
myButton.onRollOver = function() {
	mySound.start();
};
myButton.onRollOut = function() {
	mySound.stop();
};

```

Well, define your button instance name, and replace your sound file in the script.

**NOTE** : This will load your Sound File Dynamically, no need for importing it into Flash. 🙂

Tell me how it goes.

thanx for replying soo fast, i wasnt expecting that! 🙂 i named my instance as u said and replaced it with u’r “mySound\_mc”…but what i dont get is how i dont have to import the sound… does the sound have to be in the same folder as the .fla file and do i just name the file? thnx…

Nope, you got me wrong , if your button, for ie, was called “Button48”, replace myButton with Button48, don’t name your instance mySound\_mc, cuz i already created an MC where the sound will load. In line no.3, replace soundFile.mp3 with your own file, don’t delete the quotes, and keep this sound file in the same directory of your SWF.

Tell me how it goes.

oh and btw, u should paste this script in your \_root (main) timeline.

when i publish or test movie, a pop up comes up and says:

WARNING: This movie uses features that are not supported in the Flash 5 player  
Scene=site, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Flash MX Button Instance Name

i am using FLASH MX, is there a problem with the actionscripting, is it not compatible with flash mx or something…  
thnx.

Hmm, yes, abit different, something like:

```php
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mySound_mc", 10);
mySound = new Sound(mySound_mc);
mySound.loadSound("me.mp3");
mySound1 = new Sound(mySound_mc);
mySound1.loadSound("232.mp3");
myButton.onRollOver = function() {
    mySound.start();
};
myButton.onRollOut = function() {
    mySound.stop();
};
myButton1.onRollOver = function() {
    mySound1.start();
};
myButton1.onRollOut = function() {
    mySound1.stop();
};

```

etc…just start adding what i added for each sound, tell me how it goes.

yours,
