i dont have flash on this pc, but here goes…

if you attach your sound like this you will be okay

right click your sound in your library and go to linkage. give it a name of buttonSound

timeline:

```auto

mySound = new Sound()
mySound.attachSound("buttonSound");

button.onRollOver = function(){
mySound.start(0,1);// 1 loops it once
}

```

hope that helps 🙂

Just check the “Export for Action Script” option and hit OK.
