how did you add the sound?

Did you use a external movie for the background sound

or did you just put it in the timeline?

The reason is because you have your sound on your timeline. When you put it on the timeline, you have to have enough keyframes to let the song completely play. To get around this, put an empty MC somewhere on your first frame.

its actions should be :

```php

onClipEvent (load) {
   testSound = new Sound(this);
   testSound.attachSound("sublime");
   testSound.start(0, 1);
}

```

and then you need to go into your library panel. Find the sublime song you have in there, and right click it. Choose “linkage”. when that window is open, you need to select “export for actionscript”. You can put a name to it now and name it “sublime”.

Then you can export your movie and everything should work fine!

see the button below “font” that says “php” hit that. I don’t do that I just do this :

{php}

my code here

{/php}

but use brackets instead of those… use “[” & “]” instead of {.
