hey guys,  
Well I’m not sure where to put this since I had the same problem back when I used MX2004.

Let’s say I add sounds using the attachSound method to a swf, it plays perfectly when I run it alone but if that swf is loaded into another swf the sound doesn’t play at all.

My question is, is there a way I can attachSound in my external swf without putting the actionscript in my main swf and having the external swf call the sound
