Linking Sound

   

---

A sound file doesn't always have to be physically placed on a Timeline. It can also be linked to a Timeline through ActionScript. Select the desired sound in the Library, then right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) on it and choose Linkage from the pop-up menu or from the Library's Options pop-up menu. Select Export for ActionScript and Export in First Frame in the Linkage Properties dialog box (see Figure 15.3). Then type in an identifier within the text field and click OK. The sound is now linked to the Timeline and ready to be called.

Figure 15.3. Several options are available in the Linkage Properties dialog box.
