Audio inside nested movie clip won't play with the animation

Question

The title explains the bulk of it, I'm in HTML5 canvas, and the movie clip plays fine, but the audio in it's timeline isn't playing with it. Here is all the relavent code                 var root = this;

root.Combo.Wire1.gotoAndStop(4);
                
                root.Combo.Bomb.gotoAndPlay(5);
                setTimeout(Explosion, 9500);
            
                function Explosion(){

root.House.gotoAndPlay(3);
                    
                }

All of the words listed but not delcared (combo, bomb, house, Wire1, etc.) are the instance names of movieClips that I set up in the Adobe UI. If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

use console.log or alert to confirm you're goto is doing what you think

1. You aren't understanding the issue, because in HTML5, when you are inside a symbol the sounds can't be played during testing, because you can only set the sound to event inside a symbol rather than stream. So therefore with no stream audio, gotoAndPlay can't play it, what I was asking is if you could think of an event that would allow me to play it when I need it, which-

2. I found a solution for. In the library of where all your symbols, bitmaps, and sounds are, you need to set the sound a linkage name. For this example lets use "Bomb", with that set yu need to go just above, or just below the gotoAndPlay line in the frame (doesn't matter which), and put in this code

createjs.Sound.play("LinkageName");

Or for this example

createjs.Sound.play("Bomb");

Make sure to include the quotations in the code, I typed this all out for the sole reason as to mark it as the answer so someone else doesn't have to do hours of research to figure out a single line of code to fix it.

there's nothing you showed that would necessarily cause the problem but there's a lot unknown that would cause the problem.

if you suspect a code problem, open the test browser's developer console and look for an error.

one of the most common problems would be the sound not starting on a played frame and the sound having a sync property of event (instead of stream). but obviously, no one can say that is your problem.
