Hello,  
I have a movie that has a sound object in it. I load the sound fine in this movie with the following code:

```auto
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
 my_sound.attachSound("mix");
 my_sound.start();

```

then i have play/stop buttons with the following code on them:

```auto
on (release) {
 	my_sound.start();
 }
 
 on (release) {
 	my_sound.stop();
 }

```

all of this actually works, but the problem arises when i load the movie into a loader movie clip of another movie, then nothing works/plays. i tried \_root/\_parent on everything and it didn’t work. any ideas?

any help is greatly appreciated.
