Try it this way..: ( 'loadSound' only handles mp3 files ).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.flash filename="filename.swf" bbox=200x200 version=8 fps=50 compress

.action:
var mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("mysound.mp3",false);
// mySound.play();
// mySound.stop();
.end
.end
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or, try it this way,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.flash filename="filename.swf" bbox=200x200 version=8 fps=50 compress
.sound wavfile "mysound.wav"
.action:
    var mySnd = new Sound();
    mySnd.attachSound("wavfile");
    mySnd.start();
.end
.end

AS3 handles things slightly differently.  You don't need the package wrapper
when writing in swfc.  You do need it if compiiing with as3compile.

I write a whole raft of sound stuff, when I was experimenting - basic stuff,
through to a small, but useful, meda player.  If you'd care for a few more
examples then let me know.  I'll dig them out and revise them.  Could always
post them on the wiki.. ;o)

HTH.
