Playing Sound in Flash 8

How do you play a sound or music in Flash 8? First off, select the sound, music, music loop, audio effects loop that you want to use. Make sure that the sound file is in .wav or .mp3 format so that it can be used in Flash 8 as a sound object.
This is the first way to put a sound file onto the frame directly.
Create a new layer for the sound file, rename it audio or something similar.
Click on flash 8 menu item File - Import - Import to Library.
Find your sound file. Click on Open.
Open the library. (F11). Drag the sound file to the audio layer you created.
Calculate how many frames the sound file will occupy. e.g. If I have a flash fps of 10 frames per second and my audio file is five seconds then i will need fifty frames.
So in my case i would click on Frame 50 on my audio layer and hit button F5 to create frames and you should be able to see the audio wave simulation on the frame up to that point. Adjust the number of frames if you have to.
You will have to add the same number of frames to the other layers as well.

Click on a frame in the sound layer and look at your properties window.
In Properties - Sync , set to repeat how many times to want the flash sound to loop. Set to repeat 1 to play only once.
That is it. But be aware that you cannot control this or turn it off.
See below for instructions on using Actionscript in Flash 8 to control the Sound object. It is a much better way to control Sound and audio in Flash.
