Sure, use this:

```auto

MovieClip.prototype.onRelease = function(){
this.snd = new Sound(this);
this.snd.attachSound("yourSound");
this.snd.start(0,1);
}

```

The above code sets the onRelease handler of every movieclip in the movie to play the sound. If you are using Buttons, use this code:

```auto

Button.prototype.onRelease = function(){
var snd = new Sound(this);
snd.attachSound("yourSound");
snd.start(0,1);
}

```

An example fla … well just place some movieclips/buttons on stage give them instance names, place the given code on the timeline and CTRL+ENTER.

This is the script i’m trying to attach button sound to.

[AS]  
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
function drawButtons() {  
var buttonNames = ["", “01”, “02”, “03”, “04”, “05”];  
var i;  
var l = buttonNames.length;  
for (var c = 1; c\<l; c++) {  
i = this.attachMovie(“button”, “myBtn0”+c, c, {\_y:74+c\*18, \_x:30});  
i.nr = c;  
i.field.text = buttonNames[c];  
i.onRelease = function() {  
this.\_parent.buttonRelease(this, this.nr);  
};  
}  
}  
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
function buttonRelease(target\_mc, nr) {

```
delete sectionMC_03.folioClip.section_mc.onEnterFrame;

if (nr == 1) {
	myBtn01_func();
} else if (nr == 2) {
	myBtn02_func();
} else if (nr == 3) {
	sectionMC_03.clearPortfolioList();
	myBtn03_func();
} else if (nr == 4) {
	myBtn04_func();
} else if (nr == 5) {
	myBtn05_func();
}

```

}  
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
this.drawButtons();
