no, Rebecca. this matter is not about the file type.

i've got the following reply from Martin Fasani:

You can't do the two things at the same time.

The answer is simple:

A sound must be set to export in the library to make it work with the

attachsound method.

If you import the sound you can't set it to export later.


So the best thing you can do is to import movieclips (shared MC) and control

their timeline-volume with soundObjects(SO's for the next words).

Remember that SO's control timelines of sound.

So if instead of using:


this[cons_name] = new Sound(target);

this[cons_name].attachSound(lib_identifier);

this[cons_name].start(0, 1);


You use:


this[cons_name] = new Sound(mytimelinetocontrol);

this[cons_name].start(0, 1);


Without even using attachsound, you have the control of that timeline

sounds.

That means you can import shared libraries, with their correspondant

movieclips, and control their timeline volumes.


Perhaps you didin't want to do it that way. But it's the best solution I can

say now.


Get the sound-sources in my site if you wanna see more coding about sound.
