Sound Button, ActionScript 3.0

[TheEpicOne]

Hi, I am a newbie to ActionScript but I do have an understanding of scripting. I have worked in designing games on a few game engines and now I am looking into ActionScript 3.0

I created a script by getting some details here and there on the web and this is what Ive come up with,

var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Sound.wav");

var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();

thisSnd.load(loadSnd);

Sound_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playF);

function playF(event:MouseEvent);void{

          thisSnd:play(); //Line 8

}

Output:

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 8

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before semicolon.

I dont think this is a difficult error to fix but it is an issue for me at the moment.

use:

var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Sound.wav");

var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();

thisSnd.load(loadSnd);

Sound_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playF);

function playF(event:MouseEvent);void{

          thisSnd.play(); //Line 8

}

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 8

1084: Syntax error: expecting colon before dot.

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 9

1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbrace.

The output returned those two statements up there.

My piece of code isn't exactly efficent. I imagine there are errors that are difficult to spot. Perhaps writing a new script is a better idea?

another error in your code:

That fixed the Button.

Now Actionscript 3.0 is giving me the following error.

ArgumentError: Error #2068: Invalid sound.

          at flash.media::Sound/play()

          at Project_fla::MainTimeline/playF()[Project_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:8]

It looks like the sound I created doesn't exist.

Is there a certain folder I must place my sound Instance in?

you can't load a wav.  use an mp3.
