Button Sound Trouble

[CorpusInvictus]

Concerning my first exploits into AS, most of the functions I can script into my buttons work. But how can I make a sound play upon pressing a button? There doesn't seem to be an action that coincides with the effect I desire.
Thanks for any help.

^All you need to know about AS and sound.

First of all, you need the sound to export for actionscript:

-Right Click your sound in the library
-Select 'Linkage'
-Check 'export for actionscript'
-Type something in the Identifier box eg 'mySound'

Now the button script:

on(press){
mySound = new Sound(this);
mySound .attachSound("mySound");
mySound.start(0, 1);
}

That will play the sound once when the button is pressed. There's lots of things you can do with this, one useful one is to change the number 1 in the brackets to get the sound to play more than once eg mySound.start(0, 5); will play it 5 times.

Hope this helps :)

I tried that way of doing it orpheus, though when i preview it, it is a button, when I click it, it doesn't make a sound.

When i first did it... I used this pretty newb way of going into the editing the button (where it tells you hover, click, release thing) and add a sound to clik or something then make it event... that's what i'd do but no one seems to notice it so it must be bad :3
