## i made a search but coudnt find any help. I want that a dragable mc plays a sound when it reaches a certain position \_y\>400. Here’s the code i use, but without any results:
## onClipEvent (mouseUp) { if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true)) { this.stopDrag(true); } if (this.\_y\>400) { this.gotoAndStop(som); } }
i have a sound at frame label “som”
Any ideas?

The label som is INSIDE the movie clip or OUTSIDE ??

Then you should write
```auto
if (this._y>400) {
_root.gotoAndStop(som);
}
```

Where is located the sound is the question… In a movie clip ? In the main timeline ??

Or you can send me your fla [ilyas.usal@club-internet.fr](mailto:ilyas.usal@club-internet.fr), but I’d rather you found it by yourself.

now it works, with a little flaw: only plays the sound once; if i drag the clip around, it plays the first time that’s there, but not anymore…
how can i turn that around?

It should work everytime you unclick your mouse (onclipeven mouseup)… Hard to say just like this.

now it works because i made gotoAndPlay, instead
