my main fla’s root timeline has two buttons  
first plays sound

on (release) {mainaudio = new Sound(this);  
mainaudio.attachSound(“plp\_clip”);  
mainaudio.start(0, 99);  
}

second stops sound

on (release) {mainaudio = new Sound(this);  
mainaudio.attachSound(“plp\_clip”);  
mainaudio.stop();  
}

they work fine

However, I need to have the sound (plp\_clip) automatically start playing when the movie starts and stop using the buttons as well. I tried some variations in code but can’t get it to work, too simple??
