Hello,

I’m sure this question was covered before, please forgive me if so.

I’ve created a flash movie that loads content into seperate layers. One of these layers is called music.swf and contains sound in the library. I’ve created a stop and start button and have attached the sounds to these with the following script:

mySound\_sound = new Sound ();  
mySound\_sound.attachSound(“setemID”);  
startButton\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
mySound\_sound.stop();  
mySound\_sound.start();  
};

stopButton\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
mySound\_sound.stop();  
};

mySound\_sound2 = new Sound ();  
mySound\_sound2.attachSound(“didID”);  
startButton2\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
mySound\_sound2.stop();  
mySound\_sound2.start();  
};

stopButton2\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
mySound\_sound2.stop();  
};

this is all working perfectly. However when I load this music.swf into my main movie (into a layer) it no longer plays the songs.

I’m a bit thick at the 'ol actionscript so if you can find the time to give us a hand it would be really appreciated.

many thanks
