During your course of Flashing, you may have added sounds the old-fashioned way. You would probably have added the sounds by adding them to a frame and looping them 999 times. You are no longer a beginner Flasher. You have to move away from relying on frames and, instead, rely on using ActionScript for your sound needs.
