hi
i have a movie wich is loaded into level 26 and it has this code:
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.setVolume(70);
mySound.attachSound (“soundID”);
mySound.start (0, 9999);
this movie is loaded into level26 but the sound doesn´t play, if i play the movie standalone the sound plays
any help would be appreciated 😉

You’re welcome. 😉
Since you didn’t specify a target MovieClip, when the attachSound method was being called, it was trying to find the sound in the library of the movie in \_level0. Does that make any sense? 😛
