its really easy actually:

first you import the sound to the library (file - import to library)

then you right click it in the library an select linkage

check export for actionscript and give it a linking name lets say “mySound”

for the code:

[AS]  
//create a sound instance  
mySound = new Sound();  
//attach our sound  
mySound.attachSound(“mySound”)  
//code for playing it  
mySound.start()  
[/AS]

hope that helps! :crazy: (-:
