Hi all,

```
I just get a problem that how can I use the sound (.wav) file to control the flow of animation. Since I have three animations need to play, the starting of each animation should match the sound.
I put the imported sound directly onto the time line, is it a good method to do that?
Thx for help.

```

Here’s a tutorial how to play sounds.  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/sound.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/sound.asp)  
If there is no need to stop the sound or anything I’d just put it on the timeline but if you want the user to mess around with the sound (stop,start…) I’d use aactionscript
