Playing a soundeffect on a hitTest

[nikske]

Hello people.
Lately I have been trying to make a pacman-like game in flash, which mainly consist of a character walking through a maze collecting items. I would like to hear a bleeping sound whenever he touches one but I have no idea how to script this.

Can anyone help me out?

This is the script regarding my items (pills):

for (a=1; a<=11; a++) {
if (pacman.hitTest(this["pil"+a])) {
if (raak == false) {
this["pil"+a]._x = 10000;
score = score+100;
pillen = pillen-1;

Thanks in advance

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm using flash MX 2004 and flash 8 (Don't think there's a difference in scripting? Not sure.).

Use the Sound class.

Look up the sound class in your version of flash at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/

The code is:

beep = new Sound();
beep.attachSound("beep.wav");
beep.start();

where beep is the name of the sound object, and "beep.wav" is the identifier name of the sound.

There's something else you have to do:
Right-click on the sound in your library and select "linkage...". Next, check the box next to "export for ActionScript".
