(AS1.0 FP 6.0) This code didn’t work:

bang= new Sound(this);  
bang.attachSound(“bang\_id”);  
bang.setVolume(80);  
bang.start();

So I tried putting in a function:

theGame.prototype.playSound = function(id){  
sound\_snd= new Sound(this);  
sound\_snd.attachSound(id);  
//sound\_snd.setVolume(80);  
sound\_snd.start();  
}

Still doesn’t work…I’ve checked system volume, made sure my sound file was named correctly and exported and do not know what to try next. The sound is typically called in a function call, because I want it to play on a collision
