SoundPlayer Class - What am I doing wrong?

programming flash
1

So this is my 2nd ever class I have written. I started with a basic class that loads an external image to the stage of my flash, and shows a preloader while doing so. Im trying to take it a step further now by loading a sound then playing the image. I have a button on my stage with the instance name soundBtn. I applied this class in the linkage of that button, not sure if thats the correct way to do this or not.

Please let me know what Im doing wrong, I can get the sound to load up fine, but cant figure out the whole play the sound part of it.

package {
	import flash.display.*;
	import flash.text.*;
	import flash.net.URLRequest;
	import flash.events.*;
	import flash.media.*;
	
	public class SoundPlayer extends Sprite {
		
		public var channel:SoundChannel;
		public var sndSrc:String;
		
		public var soundBtn:MovieClip;
		
		public function SoundPlayer(sndSrc) {
			//create sound clip and add to display list
			var clip:Sound = new Sound();
			
			
			//event listeners
			clip.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, handleOpen);
			clip.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, handleProgress);
			clip.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
			
			//Load the sound file
			clip.load(new URLRequest(sndSrc))
		}
		
		private function handleOpen (event:Event):void {
			trace("open");
			
		}
		
		private function handleProgress (event:ProgressEvent):void {
			var percent:Number = Math.round (event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal * 100);
			trace(percent);	
		}
		
		public function handleComplete (event:Event):void {
			trace("complete");
		}
		
		soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
		soundBtn.buttonMode = true;
		
		public function playSound (event:MouseEvent):void {
				channel = clip.play();
		}
		
	}
}

try and trace something in your playSound function to see if it actually gets called, also, you can add the eventListener directly to ‘this’, because ‘this’ points to soundBtn anyway since you set the linkage to that
