Can I have a mouse-over function to play sound?

Question

Hello all,
I have a flash graphic here www.stainlessrhino.com top left
corner. What I would like is for the graphic to play (soundless as
it does now) when the page is loaded, however, if the user mouse
over the swf a sound would play once. How would I accomplish this?
Is it possible?
Thank you!

There are several ways to do this. The easiest way is to
attach the sound to the graphic. Do this by editing the object you
want, create a layer called sounds. Click on the first frame you
want the sound to play in, press F6 to create a keyframe. Click in
that keyframe and look in the Properties window. In the box labeled
"Sound:" (go figure) you select the sound you want to play.
If you are using a roll-over listener you can use the
Sound.play() method to play the sound in the function. AS3.0
example:
myGraphic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,
myOverFunction);
function myOverFunction(event:MouseEvent):void{
play.sound(mySound);
I recommend searching for "Playing Sounds" in the help
documentation (F1).
