Sound not playing! driving me nuts!

ok i think i am going mad…

here’s my code

public var clink:chainSound = new chainSound;
clink.play();

this is in a class. chainSound is the linkage name of the wav file that’s in the fla library.

what’s more is that if i just put the sound on the timeline i don’t hear it either! yes i’ve got my headphones turned on! what could possibly be going wrong here? i hear the sound when i play it in the library…

thanks for any help.
