hi, i'm new here...

i'm creating a photography site and one section is a photo gallery... i figured it would be a good idea to have a series of thumbnails, and when you roll over them, they animate like a camera shutter and make a Nikon camera shutter sound that was in sync with the animation... just so you have a vague idea of what i'm trying to do...

i put the sound within the shutterAnim_mc's timeline... the problem is that the sound will not play until the animation is done(the animation being within the same timeline), i even tried putting the animation later than the sound in the timeline, but that didn't work...

the code i used for that method looked something like this:

Actionscript:

someButton.onRollOver = function()
{
     shutterAnim_mc.gotoAndPlay("over") //shutterAnim has one label over
}

//the animation works fine, just the sound happens too late

i have also tried the attachSound method but that has not worked for me... using this method i cannot even get my sound to play...

Actionscript:

var Nikon: Sound = new Sound();
Nikon.attachSound(idname ="Nikon.wav");
//then calling it within the someButton.onRollOver = function() {
Nikon.start();

//i have also tried putting the camera shutter sound within it's own movie clip, just in case movie clips don't like to play sound AND animations... but that didn't work....

can somebody help me to figure out what the best method is to attach a sound to an event and be able to somewhat control the time when the sound will start? thanks!
