</div>

on (release) {  
loadMovieNum(“playattachedsoundsh.swf”, 1);  
}

is used for loading an movie INSIDE the movie itself,  
try using the getURL instead…

```auto

on (release) {
    getURL("www.mypage.com/blabla.swf", "_blank");
}

```

ok let me start by saying that you need to get rid of that big fat mp3 ☹ Mp3’s are no good for flash becasue when you loop it there is a skip and the loop does not sound true. 2nd that is way to large for a sound file. 3rd if you are going to inssit on using it here is the script (you can use this for anything with sound)

here are the steps:

step1=  
\*import the sound file you are gong to use  
\*go to your library right click on sound file and go to linkage  
\*identifier name= bgSound  
\*make sure export for actionscript as well as export in first frame is checked

step2  
\*go to an empty frame in your timeline and type this code

mySound=new Sound()  
mySound.attachSound(“bgSound”)  
mySound.start(0,999)

* * *

Now if you want your sound to start through a button event just type this on your button and dont type the last line on the code above (mySound.start(0,999))

on(release){  
bgSound.Start(0,999)  
}

\*To stop your sound simply make a stop button with these actions

on(release){  
bgSound.stop  
}

There ya go man if you need help preloading it let me know. hope i helped
