external swf, sound not playing

[D-Meister]

hello flash-masters,

i'm almost positive this question has been asked before, but my search turned up nothing that would help me.

okay, i have a main flash file called "intro".
then i load a navigation into this intro file called "nav.swf". this is done by first placing a black square where the nav is supposed to be loaded, and then replacing it by using

_root.nav.loadMovie("nav.swf");

(obviously, the instance name of the black square is "nav")

within this nav.swf file i have a bunch of buttons, and i want a sound to be played when the mouse moves over a button, using

on (rollOver) {
s_multimedia. start (0,1);
}

i did all the newsound/attachsound things required, and it works fine when i open nav.swf directly.

but when i play the intro.swf, no sound is heard.

now i guess it's probably caused by an incorrect path to the sound, so i tried

on (rollOver) {
_root.nav.s_sound.start (0,1);
}

which didn't work out either.

then i tried

on (rollOver) {
_root.nav.placeholder.s_sound.start (0,1);
}

since the black square is called "placeholder", and on the stage i gave it the instance name "nav".

but this didn't work either.

HELP.
there must be a way to do this.
i'd like to leave the mp3 sounds in the external swf files, since i want to continue this way by "outsourcing" the content into seperate swf files (so i can have a pretty preloader, a slim intro file and generally a better overview of things)

thanks in advance,

rgds daniel

okay, i found the bug, i forgot THIS


it was indeed the

s_sound = new Sound ();
s_sound.attachSound("sound");

part that was wrong.
i need to tell it WHERE the new sound is going to be loaded, and since it's inside the nav.swf i need to do this:

s_sound = new Sound (this );
s_sound.attachSound("sound");

works like a charm.

i thought i'd post the solutionin case any other noob is having headaches because of this.

THANKS FOR NOTHING, YOU GURUS.
