i have this swf file where i play individual songs through actionscript

this is my code

1st frame

\_root.music = new Sound();  
\_root.music.attachSound(“file1”);  
\_root.music.start(0,99);

1st button

\_root.music.stop();  
\_root.music.attachSound(“file2”);  
\_root.music.start(0,99);

2nd button  
\_root.music.stop();  
\_root.music.attachSound(“file3”);  
\_root.music.start(0,99);

if i start the movie, it plays file1…_duh_ i press button 1, it plays file2…and so on…this whole thing works locally, but it doesn’t work on the internet. i posted it up on my webpage when it first loads, it plays like 1 sec of the music file and stops -\_- why?
