:q: hi everyone!

I have a sound sample that I have edited with another soundediting software and converted it into mp3. I have imported it into flash.  
I have a movie with a preloader and 13 different scenes.  
What I would love to do is understand how to have my sample played when I am viewing scene 3 and not scene 2.  
I have created a movieclip for the sample and added a stop action as well as stop in the effect selection of the sound options.  
I am a beginner and have read many kirupa tutorials but I am still in the dark.  
I just need to know what critical part I am not doing!  
thanx a bunch…😊

you could put the audio in it’s own .swf and load that into the main movie, then control it from there.

this tut will help you.
