This tutorial will show you the basics of incorporating sound into your flash layout and more specifically, by adding a sound to a button. Make sure you read my other tutorials, including the creating a button tutorial, before proceeding to this! I'm going to assume you know the basics of how to create keyframes, layers, and import to library so that I won't have to take screenshots of everything.
1. First, create a button symbol and double click it to go into editing mode for the button.
2. Now, create a keyframe in the "Over" frame. See image 1.

3. Create an entirely new layer and name it "Sound."
4. Import your sound file (usually .mp3 format) into your library.
5. Now, highlight and make sure you're in the "Over" frame on your "Sound" layer.
6. Drag the sound file in your library to your screen where the button is. See image 2, which is me dragging the "pop" sound onto the screen in the Over frame of the Sound layer.

7. Press Ctrl+Enter to play your flash file. Whenever you hover over your button, your sound should play!
That's it, it's very simple. Now you should know how to add sound to a Flash CS3 button and to incorporate sound into your Flash files.
