you must use .flv (video) files in Flash, no .mov files.

when loading video externally, upload the .swf file, .flv file, and the SkinUnderPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf files.

(review) Adding sound with AS3.0

animal-sounds.org

Sound:

//Loading audio: var audio:Sound = new Sound(); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Song.mp3"); audio.load(req); audio.play(); // If you want it to loop, then change the last line to: audio.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE); // Stop all sound: flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll();

Dowload .fla file: SoundTest_fall_2013.fla

// sound.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE);
or
// audio2.play(0, 9999);
