Unfortunately there is a lot more to it than this. The ActionScript 

Reference Guide is a good place to start. Read p.91. The basic steps 

though are:

1.import sound

2. select item in library and choose linkage

3. give sound an identifier (a name like "mySound") and choose export 

this symbol

4. in a button or in a keyframe add this code:

s=new Sound();

s.attachSound("mySound");

s.start();


You don't even have to have the sound on stage to use it.


Hopefully this is a start. The manual is better though.
